Installing the Crystal Enterprise files

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

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

2. Copy the install.sh script, the licensetext file (included with your product distribution), and the files containing the Crystal Enterprise binaries (with the extension .gz) from the full directory to your HOME directory.

   Note:    If you transfer the .gz files by FTP to the UNIX machine, be sure to specify binary mode for the transfer.

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. Press Enter, and then 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 creates a crystal directory below the directory that you specify here. The Crystal Enterprise subdirectories and files are installed below this crystal directory. The script next asks you if you would like to perform an upgrade install.

9. Type no, and press Enter.

   The script notifies you that it has collected all of the required information, and asks you if you are ready to have the installation begin.

10. Type begin and press Enter.

    The installation script unpacks the archived installation files. This may take a few minutes. The install.sh script then calls postinstall.sh, which prompts you for the product activation keycode.

11. Type your product activation keycode and press Enter.

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