Step-by-step instructions
Install Personal Desktop Client
Double click the .deb file or, for example, use gdebi to install from the command line.
If you later want to add PKCS#11 integration for other products, such as Firefox and Thunderbird, you can run dpkg-reconfigure. Integration will be added to those users which have a profile directory. (For instance, there is no Firefox profile directory before Firefox has been started for the first time.)
Example
sudo dpkg-reconfigure personal
Double click the .rpm file or, for example, use rpm or yum to install from the command line.
Configuration file
A configuration file is shipped with the product, located in /etc/personal/Personal.cfg. It includes information about specific options and comments and is intended for an admin user.
A private configuration file is created when Personal Desktop Client is started. It will be added in ~/.personal/config/Personal.cfg.
