Installing additional products after installing Fathom
You can add another Fathom-related product, such as the SNMP Adapter, to an existing Fathom installation.
To add another Fathom-related product to an existing Fathom installation:
- Log in as root in a terminal window. If you do not know the root password for your system, consult with your system administrator.
- Insert the Fathom installation CD into the CD-ROM drive.
Table 3–1 lists the mount commands for each supported platform (where device-name is the device you are using for the installation and mount-point is the mount-point directory). Note: On several platforms, there is an automount daemon that mounts the CD within approximately five seconds. If, however, the automount does not occur on your machine, use the mount command provided in Table 3–1.- Enter your platform-specific mount command.
- Enter the following install command:
Note: You cannot run
proinst
if you are in the mount-point directory. After you enter the install command, the Welcome screen appears:

- Press ENTER. The OpenEdge Path screen appears:

You will be unable to access those files when logged in as a user without root permissions.
