if you can find it on the support website, download it. I found it once, but had trouble finding it again. An alternative is to download it from the SSL gateway.

After logging into your gateway via web browser, click on settings

Then you will hopefully find a download link like this...

== install SNX ==

run the install file. It put a binary in /usr/bin/snx for me.

The SSL gateway will likely download and try to install it for you. You may see a screen like...

[[file:snx-3]]

Then provide your root password and it should install for you.

== test run snx ==

Often you will receive a "failed to initialize" error message when trying to connect. If so, run it from CLI to see what error messages you get.

$ snx ~/src/checkpoint
snx: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

gentoo

$ sudo emerge -av --quiet sys-libs/libstdc++-v3

for debian or ubuntu, if you can find the package...

$ dpkg -i libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_i386.deb

when if works, you should be able to run it and it will give you a help message like..

$ snx
failed to open file: /home/john/.snxrc
