# Chapter 4. Installing Additional Client Machines

This chapter describes how to install AFS client machines after you have installed the first AFS machine. Some parts of the installation differ depending on whether or not the new client is of the same AFS system type (uses the same AFS binaries) as a previously installed client machine.

## Summary of Procedures

1. Incorporate AFS into the machine's kernel

2. Define the machine's cell membership

3. Define cache location and size

4. Create the /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB file, which determines which foreign cells the client can access in addition to the local cell

5. Create the /afs directory and start the Cache Manager

6. Create and mount volumes for housing AFS client binaries (necessary only for clients of a new system type)

7. Create a link from the local /usr/afsws directory to the AFS directory housing the AFS client binaries

8. Modify the machine's authentication system to enable AFS users to obtain tokens at login
