On Linux and OS X

On Linux and OS X, download the server and command line client binaries into the /usr/local/bin directory.

1. Change into the download directory.

   $ cd /usr/local/bin

2. Download the executable files from the Perforce website.

   https://www.perforce.com/downloads

3. Make the server and client binaries executable, if they aren’t already. For example, on Linux:

$ chmod +x p4d
$ chmod +x p4
