  1. When you visit the AnyConnect VPN Client site, the automatic installation does not work. Follow the link on the page to download the installer: vpnsetup.sh .
  2. Invoke Terminal application.
  3. Change the directory to where you save the script. It’s usually ~/Downloads . Type the command in the Terminal window.
    cd ~/Downloads
  4. The permission for the vpnsetup.sh is wrong; fix it by typing the following command.
    chmod +x vpnsetup.sh
  5. Run the script. You will need to supply your password for this command.
    sudo ./vpnsetup.sh

The client should be installed now. Point your browser back to your company’s Cisco AnyConnect VPN web site again and it should connect.
