Installing Server Software

Server installation media supports interactive, console, and unattended (silent) installs.

• Setting Up the Sybase Account
  Creating a sybase account provides consistent ownership and privileges for all installation, configuration, and upgrade tasks.
• Installing in GUI Mode
  Use this option to set up your software in a graphic user interface (GUI) environment. The GUI installer is wizard-driven and supports all product editions and installation types.
• Installing from the Command Line
  Choose a command-line installation if you prefer a non-windowing interface or for developing custom installation scripts. Installing components in console mode is similar to installing in GUI mode, except that you run the installer from the command line, and enter text to select the installation options.
• Installing in Unattended (Silent) Mode
  Unattended or silent installations are typically used for updating multiple systems. Except for the absence of the GUI screens, all actions of InstallAnywhere are the same, and the result of an installation in silent mode is exactly the same as one done in GUI mode with the same responses.
• Setting Environmental Variables
  Set the environmental variables required to run the server. The shell scripts that set these variables also set the variables needed by Open Client.
