Installing on Linux/Unix

This installation documentation provides just a brief description on how to install Adabas Analytics directly on the target machine using the Software AG Installer GUI. For detailed information on the Software AG Installer, see Using the Software AG Installer.

Start of instruction setTo install Adabas Analytics

  1. Start the Software AG Installer GUI as described in Using the Software AG Installer.

  2. When the first page of the Software AG Installer GUI (the so-called Welcome panel) is shown, press the Next button repeatedly (and specify all required information on the shown panels as described in Using the Software AG Installer) until the panel containing the installation directory appears.

    Product selection tree

  3. Specify the root directory and host name or IP address (optional).

    Note:
    It is strongly recommended not to use the proposed default directory /opt/softwareag but a sub-directory, for example /opt/softwareag/adabasanalytics22 to install the release version of Adabas Analytics 2.2. With this approach you can install several versions of Adabas Analytics in parallel directories.

  4. Press the Next button.

    Note:
    The panel shown below is an example of a possible product selection.

    The panel containing the product selection tree appears. This tree lists the products for which you have valid credentials and which can be installed on the operating system of the machine on which you are installing.

    Product selection tree

    Note:
    Products or product versions which are already installed in the selected installation directory are shown as disabled.

  5. If you want to install Adabas and pre-selected product components, select the Adabas Products node.

    Or:
    If you want to customize the list of selected product components, expand the Adabas Products node, deselect Adabas Products and select the product components that you want to install.

  6. If you want to install Adabas Client, select Adabas Client in the product selection tree. The Adabas Client is always installed together with Adabas, but can also be installed separately.

  7. Press the Next button.

  8. Read the license agreement, select the check box to agree to the terms of the license agreement, and press the Next button.

  9. Specify whether to use sudo or not.

    Some parts of the installation require root permissions. On the following sudo panel you must either select Use sudo, with password suppling a valid sudo password or you can skip these installation steps by selecting Do not use sudo or sudo is not available.

    You will then have to execute those steps as described on the panel shown below. Both alternatives are equivalent.

    Note:
    Using sudo without specifying a password is not possible.

  10. On the last panel, review the list of products and items you have selected for installation. If the list is correct, press the Next button to start the installation process.

    When the Software AG Installer has completed the first-time installation, additional configuration steps are required. See Configuring Adabas Anlytics for further details.
