With Version 9 you can choose the installation method that best suits your company’s unique product and resource requirements. You can choose one of following installation options:

You can also perform a Custom installation. For details, proceed to the "Performing a Custom Installation" section in this chapter.

Before you proceed with the steps in this section, be sure to complete all the steps in the "Installing Progress On Your System" section. Then from the Type, Device and Destination dialog box, follow these steps to perform either a Typical or Complete installation:

  1. Choose Select Type of Installation and press RETURN. The following dialog box appears:
  2. Choose either Typical Install or Complete Install, and press RETURN. The Type, Device and Destination dialog box reappears.
  3. Choose Select Destination Pathname and press RETURN. The following dialog box appears:
  4. Type your Progress destination path or accept the default directory in which to install Progress (/usr/dlc). Then type the work directory path or accept the default provided (/usr/wrk).
  5. NOTE: The actual key you use to accept the default varies by terminal type. The Select Destination Pathname dialog box shows the appropriate key combination for your terminal.

  6. Press RETURN. If the directory already exists, the following dialog box appears:
  7. Table 2–5 lists the options in the Destination Pathname Exists dialog box.

    Table 2–5: Destination Pathname Exists Dialog Box Options  
    Option
    Action
    Select an alternate destination path
    Allows you to select another destination path. This returns you to the Select Destination Pathname dialog box.
    Erase the current destination path
    Deletes the contents and subdirectories of the named directory and reinstalls in the same directory.
    Install the Progress products in the pre-existing destination path
    Installs Progress products in the named directory. If the name of a file being installed matches the name of an existing file, the installation utility overwrites the existing file. The installation utility does not, however, overwrite the progress.cfg file.

  8. Choose one of the options and make the necessary changes.
  9. From the Type, Device and Destination dialog box, choose Continue with Installation. If you are installing a product with WebSpeed components, the following dialog box appears:
  10. Type Y if you are installing Progress on the same machine where your Web server is installed. (See the WebSpeed Installation and Configuration Guide for information about installing WebSpeed.)
  11. Otherwise, type N.

    The Language Selection dialog box appears:

  12. Select the language you want to use for error and informational messages. To select a language, use your arrow keys to highlight the language and press RETURN. An asterisk (*) appears next to the selected language. Select as many languages as you want.
  13. You must choose one language as the default language. Press M, the Make Default quick key. The symbol (d) appears to the right side of the default language. If you do not select a default language, an error message will appear.
  14. When you finish selecting the languages, choose Continue with Installation.
  15. The International Settings dialog box appears:

    The International Settings dialog box allows you to tailor the default Progress Startup Parameter (startup.pf) file to select international conventions for your locale, such as Character Set, Collation, Case, Date format, and Number format preferences. For more information on international conventions, see the Progress Internationalization Guide .

  16. From each drop-down list, select the international Character Set, Collation, and Case; Date Format; and Number Format to tailor the default Progress startup.pf file.
  17. Choose Continue with Installation. If you have not completed a required International Setting, a warning appears. For example, the following warning appears if you have not chosen the Date format:
  18. Press RETURN, and complete the required setting.
  19. Choose Continue with Installation, and press RETURN.
  20. Once you provide all required settings, the installation performs a check of available disk space. Provided your destination path choice has enough disk space, the Summary dialog box appears, displaying a summary of the installation options you selected:

  21. Type Y to continue.
  22. The Copy Scripts? dialog box appears:

    Progress products consist of several scripts and program modules. When you install a product, the scripts are placed in the installation directory you specify.

  23. Choose one of the following:
    • To allow all users on your system to run the product, you should answer Yes when prompted to copy the scripts to /usr/bin. Type Y to instruct the Installation utility to place Progress 9.1 scripts in /usr/bin and the destination pathname you specified earlier.
    • CAUTION: Answering Y might cause Progress to overwrite existing scripts in this directory.

    • Type N to instruct the Installation utility to place Progress scripts only in the destination pathname you specified earlier.
    • NOTE: If you are maintaining two versions of Progress on the same machine, answer N to this question.

      While the Progress Installation utility is decompressing the files, the following dialog box appears:

      While the Progress Installation utility is tailoring the files, the following dialog box appears:

      If you are installing a product with a WebSpeed component, the To Configure Progress dialog box appears:

  24. Press RETURN. When the installation is complete, the following dialog box appears:
  25. Choose End the Progress Installation to exit. Progress returns you to the UNIX system prompt.
  26. You can now unmount the CD by entering the following command:
  27. umount device-name mount-point 
    

You are now ready to set up the user environment to run Progress Version 9.1. If you have installed an SQL product, you must set your environment variables. For more information on setting environment variables, either to support an SQL product or to customize the variables to your own preferences, see Setting Up Your Environment."

To create customized product executables, see “Building Progress Executables” in the Progress Client Deployment Guide . Creating executables might be required for certain product configurations.
