This list summarizes the tasks that are required to install the server components.
Mount the DVD and set up the sybase account. If your DVD drive is set up for automount, skip this step. To mount the DVD drive, see “Mounting the installation media”.
Create a sybase user account to provide consistent ownership and privileges for all installation, configuration, and upgrade tasks.
If a sybase account already exists, skip this step, but verify that you can use this account to log in the system. See “Setting up the sybase account”.
Set the $SYBASE environmental variable to directory where you plan to install Sybase IQ. See “Setting the $SYBASE environmental variable”.
Run the installer from the Sybase IQ Server Installation DVD. Complete all preinstallation tasks before you run the installer. See “Running an interactive install”.
Set the environment variables. Installing IQ installs some environment files that set variables that are required to run Sybase IQ Server. See “Setting environment variables”.
