Download and Install the GlobalProtect App for Linux
The GlobalProtect app for Linux supports the
DEB, RPM, and TAR installation packages.
- Download the GlobalProtect app for Linux.
- Obtain the app package from your IT administrator and then copy the TGZ file to the Linux endpoint.For example, if you downloaded the package to a Mac endpoint, you can open a terminal and then copy the file:macUser@mac:~$scp ~/Downloads/PanGPLinux-4.1.0.tgz linuxUser@linuxHost:<DestinationFolder>whereis a location such as<DestinationFolder>~/pkgs/where you want to store the TGZ file.
- From the Linux endpoint, unzip the package.user@linuxhost:~$tar -xvf ~/pkgs/PanGPLinux-4.1.0.tgzAfter you unzip the package, you will see installation packages—DEB for Ubuntu and RPM for CentOS and Red Hat—and the scripts to install and uninstall the packages.
- (Optional) If your Linux endpoint must use a proxy configuration, configure the proxy settings.The GlobalProtect app for Linux supports only manual proxy server configuration and obtains the proxy settings from thehttps_proxyorHTTPS_PROXYenvironment variable. If you later change the system proxy configuration, verify that the terminal from which GlobalProtect runs uses the proxy environment variable. If you do not see the new settings, log out and back in to populate the new setting to the environment variable.
- Install the app package using either thesudo dpkg -ior<gp-app-pkg>apt-get installcommand where<gp-app-pkg>is the name of your distribution package for your Linux version.<gp-app-pkg>user@linuxhost:~$sudo dpkg -i GlobalProtect_deb-4.1.0.0-19.debSelecting previously unselected package GlobalProtect.

After GlobalProtect first runs, the app also creates a GlobalProtect user folder$HOME/.globalprotectto save user registry configuration and other CLI related settings.
- (Optional) Change CLI modes.You can run commands in either command-line or prompt mode. Command-line mode requires you to specify the full GlobalProtect command. Prompt mode requires you to specify only the command (without the app name) and displays more detailed output than command-line mode.
- To switch to prompt mode, enterglobalprotectwithout any arguments.user@linuxhost:~$globalprotect>>
- To exit prompt mode, enterquit.>>quituser@linuxhost:~$
