Installing in GUI mode

The following steps are required to perform the install in GUI mode.

Mount the CD and “cd” into the directory as described in the previous section, “Mount the CD.”

Verify that the drive on which you install the products has sufficient disk space for the products being installed, and at least 10MB extra disk space for the installation program. The program frees this space after the installation is complete.

If InstallShield does not have sufficient temporary space to run, it will prompt you to set the -is:tempdir parameter, which should be set to the absolute path of a directory that has sufficient space, for example:

 ./setup -is:tempdir /tmp

The SGI and HP Tru64 UNIX platforms require 80MB of temporary space.

The default temporary directory is /tmp, used by SGI, HP Tru64 UNIX, and Linux. The remaining UNIX platforms use the C runtime library constant P_tmpdir. Sun Solaris and HP use /var/tmp, and the remaining UNIX platforms use /tmp.

At the UNIX prompt, start InstallShield:

For HPTru64 UNIX, RS/6000, Linux, and Sun Solaris:

cd /device_name/cdrom

pathname/setup

For HP-UX:

cd /cdrom
 pathname/setup

where cdrom (or CDROM) is the directory you specified when mounting the CD drive, and pathname/setup is the full path name of your Sybase installation directory. This unloads the components in GUI mode.

For SGI IRIX:

cd /CDROM
./setup

The Welcome window appears.

Click Next to proceed with the installation.

Read the License and Copyright Agreement. Using the drop-down list at the top of the window, select the geographic location where you are installing to display the agreement appropriate to your region. Then, select “I agree” and click Next.

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

In certain cases when SDK or Open Server 12.5.1 are installed with other Sybase products, you may see warnings about overwriting newer versions of *.xml files. In these cases, simply instruct the installer to overwrite these files and proceed with the installation.

In the install directory window, click Next to accept the default directory for the installation, or enter a different directory where you want to install the products. One of the following occurs:

If the installation directory you chose does not exist, InstallShield prompts:
```
The directory does not exist. Do you want to
create it?
```
Click Yes.
If the installation directory exists, the software prompts:
```
You have chosen to install into an existing
directory. Any older versions of the products you
choose to install that are detected in this
directory will be replaced. DO NOT install into
a pre 12.5.1 ASE release area as this will break
ASE. Do you want to continue with installation
into this directory?
```
If you click Yes and the older products were not installed with InstallShield (for example, if you installed a pre-12.5.1 version of Adaptive Server), InstallShield overwrites the common components.

If you are prompted to overwrite any files, click Yes only if the version of the new files is later than the one it is attempting to overwrite.

Select one of the three types of installation:

Typical, which installs the SDK or Open Server components considered to be useful for most customers. The components that will be installed and the total disk space required will be displayed prior to installation. These components were described for SDK in “Summary of SDK components”.
Full, which installs every SDK or Open Server component from the CD. The components that will be installed and the total disk space required will be displayed prior to installation.
Custom, which allows you to select the components for SDK or Open Server to install. When you select Custom install, the next window displayed is the Component Selection window, which allows you to select the components you want to install.

Be aware that certain components are automatically installed if they are required to run other selected components.

After you have selected the desired components, click Next.

Before proceeding to the next window, InstallShield verifies the selections, and checks for dependencies and available disk space. The Product Summary window displays every component that is to be installed and the total disk space required for all the selected components.

If the target directory does not have enough free space, the space-required and the space-available information is displayed. If you click Next without sufficient hard disk space, an error occurs that stops the installation.

Verify that you have selected the correct type of installation, and that you have enough disk space to complete the process. Click Next to continue the installation.

InstallShield unloads all the components from the CD and displays a progress indicator. When the installation is complete, a message is displayed indicating that the InstallShield Wizard has completed installing your product. Click Next.

On the IBM AIX 4.3.3 platform, error messages appear during the installation, but the install completes successfully. The error messages are java-specific, are not an indication of an error in the install, and can be ignored.

A window displays a message indicating the installation was successful and advising you to check for software updates on MySybase. Click Finish to clear the window.
