Install the MVS Turnkey 5 System
This will document installing MVS Turnkey 5 on a PC running Debian.
The instructions should work on other systems with minor modifications. See the MVS-TK5 Website for more information.
This is a good place to start:
- You can run the system with or without the console
- Set it up to run all the time or only when you want/need
- Play around with the system
- You can add or delete or rename stuff to learn how it works
- If you mess it up, it’s easier to just delete it and start over from scratch
Download the zip file.
wget https://www.prince-webdesign.nl/images/downloads/mvs-tk5.zip
Unzip and set it up.
cd to go to the user HOME directory.
unzip <mvs-tk5.zip> from where it was downloaded to.
cd mvs-tk5
Within the mvs-tk5 directory, run these:
chmod 744 mvs
Use uname -m to determine the OS you are using. For Debian; it is x86-64.
cd hercules/linux/64/bin
chmod 744 *
Set Mode
CD back to the ~/mvs-tk5 directory and run:
cd unattended/
If you are just starting out and want to see the MVS Console running:
bash set_console_mode
If you don’t want the console to run and just want the system up:
bash set_daemon_mode
Run it!
CD back to the ~/mvs-tk5 directory and run:
./mvs
