Install the RPM files
[root@server1 tmp]# cd packages
[root@server1 packages]# rpm -ivh *.rpm
Some of the packages have dependencies on other packages that may not be installed on your system, in which case you may see a load of error messages such as:
[root@server1 packages]# rpm -ivh *.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

If you have experience this problem and you only want to use DIAMETER, then try just installing the seagull-core and seagull-diameter-protocol packages as follows:
[root@server1 packages]# rpm -ivh seagull-core-1.8.2-linux-2.6-intel.rpm

[root@server1 packages]# rpm -ivh seagull-diameter-protocol-1.8.2-linux-2.6-intel.rpm
Preparing… ########################################### [100%]
1:seagull-diameter-protoc########################################### [100%]
Congratulations! You have installed Seagull and now you can start sending Diameter traffic.
Install directory
By default, Seagull is installed in the following directory:
/opt/seagull
There are a number of sub-directories:
[root@server1 ~]# cd /opt/seagull [root@server1 seagull]# ls config diameter doc logs run scenario
Next Steps
See our tutorial “How to Generate Diameter Traffic With Seagull” which shows you how to get a simple Diameter test scenario up and running.
