More detailed information on administrativetasks is found in later chapters.WindowsWhere the UNIX and Windows versions of Perforce differ, this manual notesthe difference. For Windows-specific information, see “Perforce andWindows” on page 133.Many of the examples in this book are based on the UNIX version of thePerforce server. In most cases, the examples apply equally to both Windowsand UNIX installations.OS X The material for UNIX also applies to Mac OS X.Getting PerforcePerforce requires at least two executables: the server (p4d), and at least one Perforce clientprogram (such as p4 on UNIX, or p4.exe or p4v.exe on Windows).The server and client executables are available from the Downloads page on the Perforceweb site:http://www.perforce.com/perforce/loadprog.htmlGo to the web page, select the files for your platform, and save the files to disk.UNIX installationAlthough you can install p4 and p4d in any directory, on UNIX, the Perforce clientprograms typically reside in /usr/local/bin, and the Perforce server is usually locatedeither in /usr/local/bin or in its own server root directory. You can install Perforceclient programs on any machine that has TCP/IP access to the p4d host.To limit access to the Perforce server files, ensure that the p4d executable is owned andrun by a Perforce user account that has been created for the purpose of running thePerforce server.Perforce 2007.2 System Administrator’s Guide 11
