UNIX®, Linux, and macOS Attended Installation (initial steps)
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
-
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.
