The installer is a bash script that will try to configure eduroam under Network Manager. If this is inappropriate for your system or your version of Network Manager is too old, a wpa_supplicant config file will be created instead.
The installer will create .cat_installer sub-directory in your home directory and will put your server certificates there.
The instructions below are from an Ubuntu distro. Steps for other Linux versions should be similar.
