Read the Sybase IQ release bulletin for the latest information. See the special installation instructions section for any installation instructions not included in this document.
Complete all pre-installation tasks. Apply any required operating system patches, Verify that there is sufficient disk space and memory, and make any necessary configuration changes. See “Preinstallation tasks” for specific information.
Generate your license key and download your license to a temporary location on the local file system. If you chose a served license model, install and start the new license server, or know which license server you plan to use. See “Licensing your software”.
Know the product edition you intend to install and license you intend to use. If you plan to use a license server, you need to know the license server’s host ID, host name, and port number.
Determine the target installation directory. You can set the $SYBASE variable to specify a target directory, or choose a directory if you use the interactive GUI installer.
Instructions in this chapter are specific to the GUI
installer, see “Silent Installations”.
