  1. Download the troubleshooting_linux.zip file.

  2. Launch a terminal window on your Linux system. You can typically find it in your applications menu or by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.

  3. Use the cd command to move to the folder where you saved troubleshooting_linux.zip. For example:

    cd ~/Downloads

  4. Unzip the downloaded file to access the script:

    unzip troubleshooting_linux.zip

  5. Grant execute permissions to the script using:

    sudo chmod +x troubleshooting.sh

  6. Execute the script with administrative privileges:

    sudo ./troubleshooting.sh

  7. Allow the script to complete its tasks. This may take a few minutes.

  8. After the script finishes, find the Send_to_support.zip file in the same directory.

  9. Attach the Send_to_support.zip file to your support ticket or security event as instructed.

And that's it! You've ran the Linux troubleshooting script on your Linux system!🎉
