Internet access is required for a number of things when installing and
running Salvus. Many corporate networks demand the use of a proxy server.
All the tools and programs are able to use standard proxy environment variables. Setting the
https_proxy
variable to
https://username:[email protected]:8080
should work for everything.
Details for the various programs.
An easy way to test the settings is to run for example:
This command will set the https_proxy
only for this execution and use curl
to download an HTTPS website. If this does not error the environment variable setting should be correct.
You can always check if an environment variable is set by
export variable_name=variable_value
