tar xf <acquirefilename>.tar
./acqsetup
where <acquirefilename> is the flavor code e.g., acquirelinux64.

A number of files and subdirectories, normally about 20 in total

A crontab, with an entry which checks for new instructions by running the APMreconfig script, and others which will delete collected and uncollected files after a number of days.

-
An acqsetup.log file detailing all the steps and actions taken to install the Acquire.
-
A prev.crontab file if a previous crontab entry was found.
-
A prev.logfile file containing the contents of a previous acqsetup.log file if found (e.g., if an earlier version was already installed).
