Download Adaptive Server software at the Sybase-provided Web site.
Click Download Now. You are asked to answer a few questions and provide registration information. The download file is an OS X 10.3 disk image (.dmg), which allows it to be mounted on your desktop as a new volume.
In a browser window, go to the Web site and download the disk image to your desktop. For some browsers, downloading a disk image also causes the disk image to be mounted automatically. If this does not happen with your browser, then when the download is complete, just double-click on the disk image. This instructs the Finder to mount the image as a new file system volume, named Sybase.
Double-click on the volume icon, and its contents appear in a separate window. The Adaptive Server installation package appears in that window. Double-click on the package icon, and the Mac OS X 10.3 installer automatically starts. For installing on “headless” systems, such as an Xserve system, refer to the section in this document named Installation on Xserve.
The installer walks you through the various stages of the installation process, requiring your input after most of them.
