Linux#
To install and extract Sauce Connect on Linux, add sc to your system PATH:
cd $HOMEcurl -LO https://saucelabs.com/downloads/sc-4.7.1-linux.tar.gztar xvf ./sc-4.7.1-linux.tar.gzexport PATH="$HOME/sc-4.7.1-linux/bin:$PATH"Log File#
Once you've started using Sauce Connect, a log file will populate in your computer's directory. The log file name depends on whether --tunnel-name was used.
For anonymous tunnels, a log file name would be sc.log, for named tunnels, a log file name would be sc-TUNNEL_NAME.log
The location of the log file will vary, depending on your operating system. For Mac and Linux, the sc.log will use a tmp folder. For Windows, it'll use the current working directory.
