The FlexDeploy Surround plugin makes it easy to interact with source code stored in Surround SCM. This plugin requires a Surround client to be installed on the FlexDeploy server and any endpoints which will execute Surround plugin operations. FlexDeploy allows users to configure Surround connection details to be shared by various projects and other configurations at a project level. This allows workflows to perform get, checkout, and checkin operations.

Surround SCM Installation Steps
Download surround SCM from here. We recommend using the Perl installer (Linux only), the Java installer doesn't seem to work at least for this version.
Select earlier versions on the top right.
Select the appropriate family and platform.
Select the 2018.2.0 version, and if using Linux the Perl installer.
Follow the installation instructions here. When installing, you will only need to select the client.
If you are installing on the FlexDeploy server, the sscm executable needs to be on the path. Otherwise it needs to be on the path, or specified in the
environment/instanceFDSURROUND_EXE_PATHTarget property.
