3.4.1.Installation

The OpenLink ODBC Client Components for UNIX are contained within a compressed TAR archive file in the format "XXoczzzz.taz", where the "XX" represents a two-letter platform-specific code.

In addition, the optional ODBC Data Source Administrator and JDBC Samples are contained in an archive of format "XXl5adzz.taz" (availability varies by platform).

Note: The ODBC Data Source Administrator offered for configuring the Client Component is a stripped down version of the OpenLink Admin Assistant used for configuring the server components.

These files are automatically presented to you via the OpenLink Software Download wizard when you enter UNIX as your client operating system.

The steps that follow describe the installation process:

  1. Move the "install.sh" and all downloaded *.taz" files to an installation directory of your choice

  2. Type in one of the following commands to extract the contents of the compressed TAR archive files:

    sh install.sh

    or

    install.sh

    or

    ./install.sh

  3. Setup your operating environment by executing the command:

    . openlink.sh

    you can also place the following entry in your ".profile" file:

    . openlink.sh

  4. Proceed to the configuration stage of this process.
