   • For Windows, run the step file and install it to the existing directory.

   • For Linux, follow these steps to preserve your settings and drivers:

     1. Extract the archive to a temporary directory. To do this, you can use this terminal command: tar -zxvf CDataConnect.tar.gz -C Connect_temp/
