- Open Putty and SSH to the ESX Host that you just uploaded the .tgz to.

- Next we want to move the .tgz to the /Home dir using the following command: mv /vmfs/volumes//hpmgmt-8.3.1-vmware4x.tgz /home
- cd /home
- Run the following command: tar xvzf hpmgmt-8.3.1-vmware4x.tgz
- Navigate into the directory: cd hpmgmt/831 (This dir name may change with version numbers)
- Make a copy of hpmgmt.conf.example: cp hpmgmt.conf.example hpmgmt.conf
- Edit the new conf file: nano hpmgmt.conf
- Edit the conf file, the only parts you need to change are highlighted in red below.

(Note: These were the only settings I needed to change. Please check the whole hpmgmt.conf file to make sure your establishment doesn't require any other settings to be changed.)
