This section describes how to use the installer to install SDK or Open Server components. These procedures assume that:
The target computer meets the requirements outlined in “System requirements for the SDK and Open Server”.
You have completed the list of tasks for SDK and Open Server in “Preinstallation instructions”.
The installation program creates the target directory (if necessary) and unloads all the selected components into that directory.
The options for installing Sybase components from the distribution media using the installation program:
GUI mode – install the components using the SDK or Open Server installer interface.
Console mode – install components in a command-line environment.
Response file – record or create a response file. Using a response file, you can install SDK or Open Server in silent mode. Silent installation lets you install the product without interaction required on your part. This is convenient if you are performing identical installations on multiple machines
Each of these options is described in the following sections.
If
you encounter problems during installation, check the installation
log file to see a record of the installation process. The file is
located in $SYBASE/log/<product_name>.log,
where $SYBASE is
the SDK or Open Server installation
directory.
