How do I install DBMaker for Windows or Unix/Linux?

DBMaker supports Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000/XP, Solaris, SunOS, Linux, and DG/UX operating systems. There is a setup program for each operating system, which guides you through the process of installing DBMaker on your computer.

The DBMaker setup program installs all DBMaker components (the database server, database client, ODBC driver, samples, and documentation). To run the DBMaker setup program for your platform, follow the appropriate instructions below.

Windows 95/NT Setup Instructions

1. Start your computer and insert the DBMaker compact disc into your CD-ROM drive. The setup program should start automatically.

2. If the setup program does not start automatically, click on the Start button, and then click on Run. Type d:\autorun.exe (be sure to substitute the actual drive letter of your CD-ROM drive for d:) in the Open text box and click on OK. The setup program will start.

3. The setup program allows you to install all the DBMaker components. Click on Install DBMaker and follow the setup instructions on the screen.

Unix and Linux Setup Instructions

1. Start your computer and insert the DBMaker compact disc into your CD-ROM drive. You should mount your CD-ROM drive if it is not already mounted.

2. Change your working directory to the Unix directory on your CD-ROM drive. For example, if your CD-ROM drive is mounted as /cdrom, change to the /cdrom/unix directory.

3. Change your working directory to the directory for the version of Unix you are using. For example, if you are using the Solaris operating system on a Sun workstation, change to the /cdrom/unix/solaris.sun directory.

4. Execute the program named setup and follow the setup instructions on the screen.
