3 Installation

3.1 Installation on UNIX

3.1.1 Installing the Client on UNIX● You must be logged on as the root user.

● You need a local X11 graphical environment and an X server on the machine where you perform the installation.

1. Download and extract the software to an empty directory.2. Open a root shell and go to the directory where you unpacked the software.

3. Call the program hdbsetup (GUI installation) or hdbinst (command-line installation) by entering one of the following commands: Option Description

GUI ./hdbsetup [-a client]

Command line ./hdbinst [-a client] [<option_list>]

You can omit the call option -a client if you only have one installation kit - that is, one installation variant - on your system.

4. Follow the instructions displayed by the installation tool.5. For the environment of users that will use the client, including the user <SID>adm, add the installatiion path to

the the library path environment variable. The library path environment variable differs according to the operating system:Operating System Library Path Environment Variable

AIX LIBPATH

HP-UX SHLIB_PATH

Linux LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Solaris LD_LIBRARY_PATH

For information on how to set environment variables, see your operating system documentation.

The client software is installed.
