CHAPTER 2 Installing Adaptive Server
Installation Guide 27
Installation methods
The following instructions are for using the Installer in GUI mode. You can
also perform the installation in a non-GUI (text-based) mode or a completely
silent installation with no interaction. Or, you can perform the installation, then
configure Adaptive Server separately using either the GUI-based configuration
tools or silently with the use of a resource file. For information on alternate
methods of installation see Appendix A, “Alternative Installation Methods.”
Installing components with the Installer in GUI mode
Note Sybase recommends installing products as a sybase user. Root
permissions are not required to run the installer.
The Installer creates the target directory (if necessary) and installs the selected
components into that directory.
At the end of the installation, you can verify the product installation. You may
need to perform additional configuration procedures before you can use some
products.
As part of the installation, the Installer sets most of the environment variables
needed for Adaptive Server products. However, you must source other
environment variables by running the ASE150.[csh,sh].csh script file after
exiting the Installer.
To install server components:
1 Stop and shut down all programs before running the installer.
2 Insert the CD into the CD drive, or download and extract the Adaptive
Server install image from the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC).
Launch the Adaptive Server Installer.
Start the installer by entering:
/cdrom/setup
3 The Welcome screen displays. Click Next.
4 When the license selection window displays, select the most appropriate
location from the drop-down list, read the license terms, and then click “I
agree...” to proceed. Click Next.
