Installing in brief for Unix systems

You can run the brief installation procedure if:

• You are installing on a standard Unix platform (see section Platform names)
• Your Unix machine has its own device which corresponds to your distribution media (e.g., a QIC-24 tape drive)
• You're willing to use the installation directory `/usr/cygnus'
• You have enough disk space in `/usr/cygnus' (your tape label lists the required disk space for binary, source, and both)

Otherwise, see section Installing your Developer's Kit distribution.

Steps for Brief Install:

(In examples, we show the system prompt as `eg$'.)

1. Make sure you can write in `/usr/cygnus' by typing:

   eg$ su root                (enter root password)
   # mkdir /usr/cygnus        (ignore "File exists" error if any)
   # chmod 777 /usr/cygnus
   # exit                     (root access not needed beyond this)
   

2. Load the distribution into the drive and extract the Install script. WARNING: you must use a non--rewinding tape device; see section Device names.

   eg$ cd /tmp
   eg$ tar xfv device Install
   

3. Run the Install script:

   eg$ ./Install -tape=device
   

   Install displays messages about its activity, ending with

   Done.
   

4. Build symbolic links to make execution paths easy (you may need root access to put the link in `/usr'):

   eg$ cd /usr/cygnus
   eg$ ln -s progressive-95q4 progressive
   eg$ su root         
   # ln -s /usr/cygnus/progressive/H-host /usr/progressive
   # exit              (give up root access as soon as possible)
   

5. Use your Cygnus Support customer ID (see cover letter) to tag your copy of our problem-report form:

   eg$ /usr/progressive/bin/install-sid customer-ID
   

6. Remove public write access from `/usr/cygnus'. See your system administrator for the correct permissions at your site.

You're done! Anyone who puts `/usr/progressive/bin' in their PATH can use this Developer's Kit distribution.

We have attempted to make the installation of the Cygnus Support Developer's Kit distribution as trouble-free as possible. If you encounter any problems, please contact us:
