Client: Installation for UNIX
These instructions apply to both first-time installations and to upgrades from
previous versions of JAM and Prolifics. Before beginning the installation, review
the requirements and other pre-installation steps discussed earlier in this chapter.
This section discusses installing a Prolifics client, database drivers (if necessary),
and the setup requirements for a UNIX client.
To install Panther, you need to perform the following steps. The details of the steps
are provided in the pages that follow.
1.
Install Prolifics software from the supplied media. If you are using a database
other than JDB, install the appropriate database drivers from the supplied
media.
2.
Run the setup program to configure the installation.
3.
Install the Start-up License.
The installation process might require several additional steps, depending on your
system configuration and requirements.
Installation Procedure
The procedure described here assumes that
/usr/prolifics
is the Prolifics
installation directory, often referred to as
SMBASE
. If you are not installing to
/usr/prolifics
, substitute the name of the directory you are using.
Installing Prolifics software on UNIX requires you to copy the distribution from
the delivered media.
The Panther installation package comes with supported database drivers for each
platform.
To install Panther from a CD-ROM:
1.
Log in as
root
or with the login you devised for the installation.
2.
At the command line, type:
mkdir /usr/prolifics
3.
Go to the
/usr/prolifics
directory by typing:
cd /usr/prolifics
