Client: Installation for UNIX

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
