3.2.1Installing the Development Package for Linux

Install the Development Package for Linux on a development system as follows:

1.Login and switch to a user account with root privileges.

2.Create a new directory, referred to as the “install directory”. The recommended location is /opt/dpklnx.

3.Copy the dpklnx6.Z file to the development system that is running Linux.

Note: Be sure to copy the file with the uppercase Z extension that identifies the file as a compressed file.

4.Extract the files using the command: tar -zxvf dpklnx6.Z

Table 2 shows the files that are extracted into the current working directory. A number of additional files relating to other products in the range are installed at the same time.
