Starting the Sonic Installer in GUI Mode
Using the Sonic Installer
The startup instructions are described separately for Windows, UNIX, and Red Hat Linux.
◆ To start the Installer wizard on Windows:
1. Mount the distribution media or unpack the installer package on the local system.
2. Open a command prompt at the folder that has install.exe.
3. Run install.exe.
The installer starts. Follow the procedures for “Running the Sonic Installer” on page 69.
◆ To start the Installer wizard on UNIX:
Note These instructions are Solaris-specific. Some steps might vary slightly for other versions
of UNIX. See your operating system manual for information about installing software.
1. If you are installing from distribution media, put the media into your machine’s
CD/DVD drive.
Important The mount command or procedure that you use must support mixed case and file
names that are not restricted to eight characters with a three-character extension.
Consult with your IT department to define the command syntax or procedure that
supports mixed case and longer file names when mounting the CD/DVD drive.
2. The Sonic Installer requires a JVM to run. Confirm that you have a JVM installed and
in your PATH. Refer to the Progress Sonic Web site for the supported JVMs for your
UNIX brand.
3. Open a console window and locate it in the directory that contains install.bin.
Note When using remote login, and using an X-Session that accepts remote connections,
you might need to enter the command DISPLAY=hostname:0;export DISPLAY before
launching the installer.
4. Run install.bin.
The installer starts. Follow the procedures for “Running the Sonic Installer” on page 69.
