Before you can install TERM for UNIX from CD-ROM, you must mount the CD. Most UNIX platforms support SCSI or ISO 9660 CD-ROM drives. To find out whether or not the drive is recognized on the system, change directories to the /dev or /dev/dsk directory and type:
ls -l cd*
The permissions and device names will be displayed out, similar to the following example:
brw-rw-rw 1 root sys 51, Oct 28 08:16 cd0
In this case the CD-ROM device is cd0. Determine which device corresponds to your drive.
Mount the TERM for UNIX CD from the root directory by typing:
mount /dev/cd0 /mnt
Use the correct path for the CD-ROM device and the mount directory you prefer to use if not /mnt. Then change directories to /mnt/termunix and type ls to list the files and directories on the CD. Change directories again, this time to the directory that contains files for your platform:

For example, if your platform is SCO OpenServer 6, you would change to the u3 directory.
Next, copy the files from your chosen directory to the /tmp directory. Then change to the /tmp directory and extract each *.tar file separately with tar xvf:
tar xvf termu3.tar
At this point you can install TERM by running the install shell script:
/bin/sh ./install
Please note that on some CD releases, the files are in upper case. Any commands must refer to files in the correct case, upper or lower.
This information is also available in a screencast.
