UNIX®, Linux, and macOS Client-only Installation

Client-only Installation Overview

Default:

• A client installation installs only the components of InterSystems IRIS that are required on a client system.

More:

• Client installations include the following component groups:

  • InterSystems IRIS launcher

  • Studio

  • Database drivers

  • InterSystems IRIS Application Development (including language bindings)

• For details on these component groups, see Choosing a Setup Type.

Step 1: Log in

Default:

• Log in as any user. You do not need to install as root.

• The files from this install have the user and group permissions of the installing user.

Step 2: Run irisinstall_client

Default:

• Start the installation by running the irisinstall_client script, located at the top level of the installation files:

  # /<install-files-dir>/irisinstall_client
  

  

• <install-files-dir> is the location of the installation kit, typically the directory to which you extracted the kit.

Step 3: System Type

Default:

• The installation script will attempt to automatically detect your system type and validate against the installation type on the distribution media.

• If your system supports more than one type (for example, 32–bit and 64–bit) or if the install script cannot identify your system type, you are prompted with additional questions.

• You may be asked for the “platform name” in the format of the string at the end of the installer kit name.

More:

• If your system type does not match that on the distribution media, the installation stops.

• Contact the InterSystems Worldwide Response Center (WRC)Opens in a new tab for help in obtaining the correct distribution.

Step 4: Specify Installation Directory

Default:

• At the Enter a destination directory for client components prompt, specify the installation directory.

• If the directory you specify does not exist, it asks if you want to create it. The default answer is Yes.

More:

• Review Installation Directory for more important information about choosing an installation directory.

• The InterSystems IRIS registry directory, /usr/local/etc/irissys, is always created along with the InterSystems IRIS installation directory.

Step 5: Complete Installation

Default:

• After specifying the directory, the installation proceeds automatically. You should see Installation completed successfully.

• Continue to Post-Installation Tasks.
