You can install using a GUI or command prompt. You can either download the SDK software from the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC), install the SDK from the CD, or use the command line interface for the installation.
Once you have purchased a Sybase product, you can download the product and generate any applicable licenses from the SPDC. Once you purchase a Sybase product, you receive an e-mail message that contains a URL to the SPDC site, a user name, and a password.
If you purchased the Sybase software from a Sybase reseller, you
may not have access to SPDC.
Click the URL. When prompted, enter the user name and password. Your login is typically your e-mail address. If you have forgotten your password, use the password finder on the SPDC login page.
Locate Software Developer’s Kit 15.0 for Mac OS X on the product list. From the product page, download the installation program and documentation.
The install CD download file is a Mac OS X disk image (.dmg), which allows it to be mounted on your desktop as a new volume. In some Web browsers, downloading a disk image also causes the disk image to be mounted automatically. If this does not happen with your browser, double-click the disk image. The Finder mounts the image as a new file system volume, named Sybase_SDK_150.Double-click the volume icon. The contents of the volume, including the SDK installation package, appear in a separate window. Double-click the package icon to start the Mac OS X installation program.
