Next: If you use another version of Unix Up: Installing the DB Software Package Previous: Choosing an installation method

If you use Linux, SunOS, or Solaris

Examine the script install.unx in the software directory, then run it (you will need root permissions to do so successfully on most systems). This script will identify your operating system and install the appropriate binaries in /usr/local/bin (other files needed by the DB Software Package will be installed in other subdirectories of /usr/local).

If you have been using a fully functional version of WAVE from one of our CD-ROMs, be careful not to overwrite it with a demo version of WAVE if you have downloaded the software from our web site or FTP server. The simplest way to avoid this possibility is to rename your old version of wave as wave-old before running install.unx.

If you wish to customize or recompile the DB Software Package, follow the instructions in the next paragraph, for users of other Unices.
