Installing in GUI mode

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

StepsInstalling in GUI mode

  1. Verify that the drive on which you will install the products has enough 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 the installer does not have sufficient temporary space to run, set the environment variable IATEMPDIR to tmp_dir before running the installer again, where tmp_dir is the temporary directory to which the installation program writes the temporary installation files.

    NoteWhen specifying the tmp_dir, include the full path.

  2. At the UNIX prompt, start the installer.

    • For IBM AIX, Linux, and 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 Solaris the mount-point can be cdrom/cdrom0.

      • setup.bin is the executable file name to install SDK and Open Server products.

    This unloads the components in GUI mode.

  3. In the Introduction window, click Next.

  4. Read the License and Copyright 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 and copyright agreement before you can continue.

  5. In the Choose Install Folder window, click Next to accept the default directory for the installation, or click Choose to browse through the directory and select a location for the installation. One of these occurs:

    • If the installation directory you chose 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 exists, 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 not installed with SDK or Open Server installer (for example, if you installed a version of Adaptive Server earlier than 15.7), the installer overwrites the common files.

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

  6. Select the type of installation:

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

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

NoteStarting with version 15.7 ESD#3, you can choose to skip installation of sample files, documentation files, and debug files. By default, these files are installed when you install Open Server and SDK. To skip installation of these files, use the -DPRODUCTION_INSTALL=TRUE installer command-line argument when installing in GUI mode.
