Introduction

This guide is designed using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS version.

When entering commands, make sure you are entering the correct version, as the commands in the guide may be out of date.

Also, make sure that behind each command you put your own operating system-oriented file extension (with the end .deb if you are using Debian or Ubuntu and .rpm when using CentOS or Red Hat)

7. This command will help you locate the files that contain "UI" in the middle and end with ".deb" if you are using Debian or Ubuntu, or end with ".rpm" if you are using CentOS or Red Hat.
   
   

8. Once you have located the file, run the command "sudo dpkg -i GlobalProtect_UI_focal_deb-6.1.1.0-49.deb" to download the GlobalProtect VPN graphical user interface.
   

   Code Block
   sudo dpkg -i GlobalProtect_UI_focal_deb-6.1.1.0-49.deb

If you encounter any problems during the execution of this command, it is possible that a certain module is missing from your computer, which must be downloaded (sudo apt-get install <certain module name>) and then use the previous command (sudo dpkg -i GlobalProtect_UI_focal_deb-6.1.1.0-49.deb).
