Mackie V7.0 manual Installation with pkgadd, Installation users only

Installation (users only) Installing Xprint V7.0

8.5.1Installation with pkgadd

The pkgadd command provides a menu-driven installation procedure; you only need to follow the instructions or select one of the options offered by the program.

Start the installation with the following command:

pkgadd -d <device_name>

device_name represents the identifier of the device from which you install the software, i.e. the identifier of the magnetic tape drive. To install Xprint V7.0 from CD-ROM, use the system administration interface sysadm.

Initializing the Xprint V7.0 database

To be able to work correctly, Xprint V7.0 requires a database.

This database can be initialized automatically as part of the Xprint V7.0 instal- lation process. The user is asked whether he/she wants a database to be installed or not. If the response is yes, he/she will be asked whether the database is to be installed in any case or only if an already existing database has been found to be defective.

If an initialization is started even though there is an old database, this old database is backed up in the directory DB.backup whether it is defective or not.

To restore such a backup database, you must first deactivate the Xprint V7.0 system. Then you must delete the directory config/DB and rename the directory config/DB.backup to config/DB.

Automatic configuration of printers

Xprint V7.0 allows you to have printers configured automatically during instal- lation of the packages. If you select this option, you will be asked to select one or more printers from a menu in the course of the installation process. To find out which devices are supported, see the section “Predefined printers and PCLs” in the Reference Manual.
