4.4 Caché Client Installation
The Caché distribution also contains a separate script to install a client-only version of Caché. The
installation process is fairly simple. You do not need to install as root. The files from this install have
the user and group permissions of the installing user. To perform the Caché client installation:
1. Transfer files from the distribution media as described in the Caché Standard Installation procedure.
2. Start the installation procedure by running the cinstall_client script, located at the top level of the
installation files:
# /pathname/cinstall_client
3. Choose from the available client component options. Components that require the Caché server
on the same machine do not appear in the list. For example:
Client component selection
[*] 1) ODBC client
[*] 2) C++ binding
[*] 3) C++ SDK
[*] 4) Perl binding
[*] 5) Python binding
+) Select all
Enter the number of each component you wish to install.
Enter the number of an already selected component to deselect it.
Multiple selections can be separated by spaces.
Enter a blank line to continue.
You can use the plus sign (+) to select all components. If this is an upgrade and you clear a previously
installed component, that component is neither upgraded nor uninstalled.
The list of client-only components does not include the engine link libraries or the light C++ binding
because these components require a server installation.
You cannot use this script to update client components in server installations. Use the cinstall script
instead.
