Caché Installation Guide - InterSystems Documentation

Caché Standard Installation
The upgrade install stops Caché before it replaces the files and starts it afterwards, if it was running
before the upgrade.
Important:
Caché does not support the --relocate option of the rpm command due to
the complexity of the package file; the RPM kit installs into /usr/cachesys. The
RPM kit always installs the Minimal initial security settings and the Unicode
version of Caché. See steps 5 and 6 for details.
2. The installation script identifies your system type and validates it against the installation type on
the distribution media.
If your system supports more than one type, for example, 32-bit and 64-bit, or if the install script
cannot identify your system type, it prompts you with additional questions. If your system type
does not match that on the distribution media, the installation stops. Contact the InterSystems
Worldwide Response Center (WRC) for help in obtaining the correct distribution.
3. The script displays a list of any existing Caché instances on this machine. At the instance prompt,
enter an instance name. If an instance with this name already exists, the program asks if you wish
to upgrade it. If no such instance exists, it asks if you wish to create it and asks you to specify its
location on disk. If the directory you specify does not exist, it asks if you want to create it. The
default answers are Yes; press Enter to continue with the installation.
4. Next, you select the setup type:
Select installation type.
1) Development - Install Cache server and all language bindings
2) Server only - Install Cache server
3) Custom - Choose components to install
Setup type
• The default is Development, which installs the Caché server, all client components, and
the developer tools.
• The Server only option installs just the Caché server.
• If you would like to choose which client components to install in addition to the Caché server,
enter 3 for Custom. See the Caché Custom Installation section for details on selecting the
custom components.
5. Decide whether to install Caché with Unicode character support. The default is No, which installs
the 8-bit version of Caché.
InterSystems recommends 8-bit character support for locales based upon the Latin-1 character
set, ISO 8859–1. Use Unicode if the base character set for your locale is not Latin-1, or if you
plan to have data from locales based upon a different character set. If you use an 8-bit version of
Caché, your data is not portable to 8-bit locales based on a different character set.
