"wget ftp://avamar_ftp:anonymous@ftp.avamar.com/software/scripts/goav" Once GoAV has been placed on Avamar, go to the directory and make the tool executeable using the command: "chmod a+x goav" You can check the version you installed using the command ./goav version show To update an already installed version of GoAV, you can use the built in update feature.

Execute the command "./goav update" This will check the current version on the FTP site and attempt to pull the latest version.
