SIGCLEAR

Install SIGCLEAR packages.

Install from the official SIGCLEAR repositories for Debian, RHEL, and Rocky Linux.

1. Prerequisites

  • Debian 12 or 13, RHEL 8 or 9, and Rocky Linux 8 or 9 are recommended. Packages remain available for Debian 11.
  • From 28 September 2026, new releases and routine updates are no longer provided for Debian 9, Debian 10, RHEL 7, or CentOS 7. Existing packages are retained as legacy archives for reproducibility. Upgrade to a recommended system for new releases; contact SIGCLEAR about existing support arrangements or requirements for legacy systems.
  • An Intel or AMD x86_64 system with at least 16 GB of memory is required.
  • An internet connection is required for installation and updates, but not during normal runtime.
  • Administrative access through sudo is required for installation and system-level package updates, but not during normal runtime.

Discuss your system
Sign out and sign in again, or start a new login shell, after installation

To use SIGCLEAR immediately in the current Bash-compatible shell, run:

source /etc/profile.d/sigclear.sh

3. Activate SIGCLEAR

The packages can be installed together, but each commercial product requires a corresponding trial or annual license.

3.1 Get the Host ID

Run this command on the workstation you want to license:

sglicense hostid

3.2 Request a license

Submit the Host ID when requesting a free trial or purchasing an annual license.

Request a free trial View annual licenses

3.3 Install the license file

Validate and install the received .license file for the current user:

sglicense import /path/to/received-file.license
Shared workstation or cluster installation

An administrator can place the license in /opt/sigclear/share/ to make it available to all users of that installation:

sudo sglicense import /path/to/received-file.license --system

Sharing the license file does not expand the machines or usage permitted by the license.

3.4 Verify activation

List the valid SIGCLEAR product licenses available to the current user:
