Yes, just install the package. What distro are you using? If some Red Hat/Fedora or clone, install using the rpm command:

rpm -ivh .rpm

Download it from:

goto rpmfind.net and search ksh rpm for your linux kernel and install it using
rpm -ivh

it's included with each distro these days, but not installed by default.

in some cases you even get the choice between the 'real' or the 'open' ksh.

Assuming your distro is capable of handling rpms, here's a list:

pdksh is a very weak replacement, if You want a replacement, use zsh.

If You do want ksh, do use ksh.

it's available from AT&T at http://www.kornshell.com/

Read the license agreement, it mostly states they won't be held liable for anything resulting to Your usage of ksh, and then enter the password from the license text and download it.

hi,
Rajesh was right. You will have pdksh on all distros.

Check with rpm as;
#rpm -qa | grep -i ksh

It should show you;
pdksh-5.2.14-780.1

HTH,
