Before you install EAServer:
If this is an update of an existing EAServer installation, verify EAServer 5.0 or EAServer 5.1 is installed. If you have an earlier version installed, upgrade to 5.0 before installing 5.2, or install EAServer 5.2 in a separate location.
Read the release bulletins for the latest information on the products that you are installing. Pay close attention to the “Special Installation Instructions” section.
Release bulletins are included on the Getting Started CD that is included with your software. The most recent version is available at the EAServer Product Manuals site.
If you are performing any of the following tasks, review the instructions in “Upgrading, reinstalling, or adding components”:
Upgrading your license, for example, from the Developer to the Advanced edition
Reinstalling EAServer 5.2 or adding components or features to your installation
Install operating system patches, if required. Required operating system patches are described in the release bulletin for the product.
Verify that you have enough space to install the software. See “System requirements”.
The installer requires a valid X-Windows configuration. Make sure the xterm command can run at the command prompt where you start the installer.
Close any EAServer applications such as “Jaguar CTS” console server windows, EAServer Manager, and other client applications.
Make sure you have at least 150MB of temporary disk space to run the installation program.
(Optional) To view the HTML readme file displayed at the end of the installation, Netscape must be installed. The readme can also be viewed after the installation completes, as file html/docs/readme.htm in the installation.
