Installing Global Protect on Ubuntu

Just assume all the below commands require sudo

Install command line client

• Download and decompress the latest GlobalProtect installer from Pitt Software Download Service
• Install the latest command line GlobalProtect package for Debian:
  • dpkg -i GlobalProtect_deb-6.0.0.1-44.deb (adjust for version number)

Install libqt5webkit5

• If the computer has access to the internet
  • Add the Universe repository
    • add-apt-repository universe
    • apt-get update
  • Install libqt5webkit5 with apt
    • apt-get install libqt5webkit5
• If the computer does not have access to the internet
  • On a computer that has internet access and a fresh installation of Ubuntu:
    • Add the Universe repository
      • add-apt-repository universe
      • apt-get update
    • Clear apt cache
      • apt-get clean
    • Force apt to re-download all necessary files for libqt5webkit5
      • apt-get install --download-only libqt5webkit5
    • Transfer all files from /var/cache/apt/archives to a folder on the other computer via external media
      • Go to that folder and install everything
        • dpkg -I *.deb

Install the GUI

• Install the Debian package for the GlobalProtect GUI from the folder where you decompressed the file from software.pitt.edu
  • dpkg -i GlobalProtect_UI_deb-6.0.0.1-44.deb

Add the icon for the GlobalProtect GUI to favorites because the icon does not persist in the system tray by the clock.
