Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Loading the installation media

Complete this procedure to begin the installation process.

To initiate the Installation Utility to install OpenEdge products:
  1. Obtain a copy of the completed Preinstallation Checklist for UNIX . You might also want to have the other installation-related documents highlighted in Table 3–1 of the "Gathering information to plan your installation" section available.

    2. Note: When you install a client networking license, the ADM2 directory is not installed in the $DLC/GUI directory. This r-code is considered part of your application and should be deployed as a module of your application.

  2. Close all other applications before beginning the installation process.

    3. Other applications or tasks might interfere with the installation or use files that OpenEdge needs to complete the installation. Shut down any processes where the executable itself, or a file used by the executable, is located in the directory where you intend to install OpenEdge.

  3. Log in as root. If you do not know the root password for your machine, check with your system administrator.

  4. Install the installation program from the installation medium you are using, as shown in the following table:

    5. For this installation medium. . .
    Do the following. . .
    CD
    Insert it into the CD drive.
    DVD
    Insert it in the DVD player and navigate the directory structure, locating the specific platform directory to which you intend to install.1
    Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) download
    Navigate to the software image you intend to download from Progress Software’s Download Center.2
    1The installation DVD contains subdirectories for all Windows and UNIX platforms that OpenEdge 10.1A supports. However, only the specific platform and type to which your license pertains is installable.
    2The Progress Software Download Center is available at http://www.progress.com/esd. Access to Progress software products and updates at this Web site requires a valid account.

    Note: There is an automount daemon on the Solaris platform that mounts the CD within approximately five seconds. If however, the automount does not occur on your Solaris machine, go to Step 5 in this procedure.

  5. Enter your platform-specific mount command (where device-name is the device you are using for the installation and mount-point is the mount-point directory). The following table lists the mount commands for each supported platform:

    Not found to be installed on your platform,
    The Installation Utility searches your $PATH for it.
    If the JVM is then found in the $PATH, the Welcome dialog box appears.
    Not found to be installed on your platform,
    The JVM has not been detected Warning message appears.
    The installation continues, but you can only install products that do not require a JVM.
