Installing Altibase Client Products#

The following sections describe how to install an Altibase Client Product:

Checking the Environment Before Installation#

Please refer to Check the Environment Before Installation in the "Installation Altibase Product" section

Downloading the Package Installer#

You can download the appropriate Package Installer for your operating system from Altibase's Customer Support Service Portal.

Please refer to Download the Altibase Package Installer for more detailed information on the supported operating system.

Setting the Installation Mode#

To start the Altibase Package Installer in GUI mode, please refer to Set the Installation Mode.

Starting the Altibase Package Installation#

To run the ALtibase Package Installer, the user must download the Package Installer and then change the permissions of the file by using chmod. 

$ chmod +x altibase-client-7.3.0.0.0-LINUX-X86-64bit-release.run

Run the Altibase Package Installer

$ ./altibase-client-7.3.0.0.0-LINUX-X86-64bit-release.run

If the installation mode is set to GUI mode, the following start panel appears:

Entering the Installation Directory and Selecting the Installation Type#

In the following Installation Directory panel, enter the Altibase home directory (the directory to which an Altibase Client Package is to be installed) and select the Client Package installation type.

To install an Altibase Client product, select "Full Installation"; to install a patch for a previously installed version, select "Patch Installation".

Setting Altibase Client Properties#

In the Altibase Client Properties panel, enter the communication port number to be used by clients when connecting to the server via TCP/IP. This port number is saved in an environment setting file (e.g., .profile, .bash_profile, etc.) in the user's account.

Installationg the Altibase Client Product#

During this procedure, the environment variables related to Altibase Client Products (which are shown in the above dialog box) are added to the environment file for your login shell (e.g., default environment file for the standard Bourne shell (sh) is .profile). The altibase_user.env file, which is generated when an Altibase Server Product is installed, is not generated. To apply new environment variables to your shell, perform one of the following actions:

  • Log out and then login again

  • Execute . ~/.profile

  • Execute source ~/.profile

The following is an example of .profile.

# ALTIBASE_ENV
export ALTIBASE_HOME=/home/hdb71_p/altibase-client-7.1.0
export ALTIBASE_PORT_NO=20300
export PATH=$ALTIBASE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${ALTIBASE_HOME}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export CLASSPATH=${ALTIBASE_HOME}/lib/Altibase.jar:${CLASSPATH}

Finishing Installation#

Post-Installation Tasks#

If you have not applied new environment variables to your shell during the above procedure, do it now. For more detailed information, please refer to Installing the Altibase Client Product.
