The Traffic Manager software is distributed as a compressed tar archive directory. The software download file is called ZeusTM\_ProductVersion\_OS.tgz, where ProductVersion is the version number and OS is the operating system where the software is to be installed. Use this link to [download software](https://forums.ivanti.com/s/product-downloads?language=en_US) using correct credential.

Decompress and extract the files contained in this archive directory to a temporary directory using your system gzip and tar tools. Use the following command:

```bash
$ gzip -dc ZeusTM_ProductVersion_OS.tgz | tar -xvf -
```

This command unpacks the archive directory and creates a new destination directory for the installation files. As it does so, it displays the name of each extracted file.
