Installing the Crystal Enterprise files

  1. Log on to your UNIX system under the new crystal user account.

    Note:    For details on creating this account, see Creating an account, a home directory, and a login environment.

  2. Copy the install.sh script and the licensetext file included with your product distribution to your HOME directory.

    Note:    If you transfer the script by FTP from a Windows machine to the UNIX machine, be sure to specify Binary mode for the transfer. (The install.sh script includes all of the binaries required by Crystal Enterprise.)

  3. Ensure that you are working in your HOME directory:

    cd $HOME

  4. Run the installation script:

    ./install.sh

  5. When prompted, press Enter to continue.

    The script displays the product license agreement. Press the spacebar to read through the information in its entirety.

  6. Type yes and press Enter to accept the license agreement and to proceed with the installation.

    The script asks if you want to perform a system install or a user install. This procedure performs the user install. For details about the system option, see Finishing a system installation.

  7. Type user and press Enter.

    The script prompts you for the absolute path of the installation directory.

  8. Press Enter to accept the default, which is your current directory (equivalent to $HOME).

    The script will create a crystal directory below the directory that you specify here. The Crystal Enterprise subdirectories and files are installed below this crystal directory. The script notifies you that it has collected all of the required information.

  9. Type begin and press Enter.

    The installation script copies the required files. This may take a few minutes. When finished, the script prompts you for the product keycode.

  10. Type your product keycode and press Enter.

    The script validates your keycode and then runs the setup.sh script automatically. See Setting up the Crystal Enterprise servers.
