Installing in GUI mode

Follow these steps to install jConnect in GUI mode.

StepsInstalling in GUI mode

  1. For Microsoft Windows, ensure that your login ID has administrative privileges. For UNIX, ensure that your login ID has write-access to the install directory.

  2. Start the installer.

    • For Microsoft Windows: If you are installing from the CD, the installer should start automatically. If it does not, or if you are installing from a downloaded file, select Start | Run, and enter:

      x:\path\setup.exe
      

      where setup.exe is the executable file that installs jConnect, and x:\path\ is the path to setup.exe.

    • For IBM AIX, Linux, and Sun Solaris:

      cd /cdrom/cdromn/pathname
      ./setup.bin 
      
    • For HP HP-UX:

      cd /cdrom/pathname
      ./setup.bin 
      

      where:

      • cdrom/cdromn is the directory (mount-point) you specified when mounting the CD drive. For example, on Sun Solaris the mount-point can be cdrom/cdrom0.

      • setup.bin is the executable file that installs jConnect.

    NoteIf JDK_or_JRE_installation_directory/bin is not defined in the PATH environment variable, call setup.exe (Microsoft Windows) or setup.bin (UNIX platforms) using the LAX_VM java_binary_path argument. For example:

    • Microsoft Windows: .\setup.exe LAX_VM “C:\ProgramFiles\Java\jre1.6.0_06”

    • UNIX platforms: ./setup.bin LAX_VM /work/jre6/bin/java

  3. Read the introduction. Click Next.

  4. Read the License Agreement.

    Select the geographic location from where you are installing to display the agreement appropriate to your region. Select “I agree to the terms of the Sybase license for the install location specified” and click Next.

    You must agree to the license agreement before you can continue.

  5. Choose the installation directory.

    To accept the default directory, click Next. To specify a different directory, click Choose or type the directory path in the input field, and click Next. One of these occurs:

    • If the installation directory does not exist, the installer prompts:

      The directory directory_name does not exist. Do
      you want to create it?
      

      Click Yes.

    • If the installation directory contains Sybase products, the installer prompts:

      Warning: You have chosen to install into an
      existing directory. If you proceed with this
      installation, any older versions of the products
      you choose to install that are detected in this
      directory will be replaced.
      

      If you continue and the older products were installed with jConnect, the installer overwrites the common files.

  6. Choose the installation type.

    After you have selected the installation type, click Next.

    The Pre-Installation Summary window displays the product features or components to be installed and the total disk space required for all the selected features.

  7. Review the information in the Pre-Installation Summary window. Click Install.

    The installation program unloads all the components from the CD and displays a progress indicator.

  8. Quit the installer.

    In the Install Complete window, click Done.
