Installation Guide
- Note:
- 75mb of free space, in the /tmp filesystem, are required in order to install
VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Client Version 5.5, 5.5.1,
or 5.5.2.
- Note:
- The installer writes installation status messages to its 'stdout'
stream. These messages will appear within the dtterm or xterm where the
installer was started. When the installation is finished, this window
will show a Finished message.
Before installing a VisualAge Smalltalk Client, you need to know some
information about where the library manager is installed.
You can use EMSRV to connect to the manager. The EMSRV environment
is set up during the client install.
The library manager administrator should provide the following information
about the VisualAge library:
- The TCP hostname or the IP address (dotted decimal address) of the server
where the library manager is installed
- The path on the server where the library manager is installed
To install a VisualAge Smalltalk client, do the following:
- On the Welcome window, select Readme to view the
readme file for any late-breaking information on the UNIX version of
VisualAge.
- Read the License Agreement. If you agree to the terms and
conditions, select Accept. Otherwise, Decline and
exit the installation.
- For HP-UX and Sun Solaris, on the Select Features window, if you have
previously installed VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Version 5.5 or
5.5.1 Client, next to the Version 5.5/5.5.1
features that were previously installed you will see a + and a
number that indicates the approximate size difference of the feature in
VisualAge Smalltalk Version 5.5.2. On AIX, the
+ and the number indicate the full size of the feature in VisualAge
Smalltalk Version 5.5.2.
- On the Select Features window check off the features you wish to install
by clicking the box next to the feature(s). You should not install
features that you didn't also select when installing the Library
Manager. Click Next to continue.
- Note:
- On some Unix platforms, problems have been reported on the Select Features
screen. After selecting a new feature to install, sometimes the
Next button is not enabled due to an error in synchronization of
the features. To correct this problem, select the Back
button and then on the License Agreement screen, select the Accept
button. The Next button on the Select Features screen should
then be enabled.
- Note:
- The VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Client represents the base code necessary
to run the client.
- You will now be asked to complete the installation. Verify that all
of the information is correct and click Next. The product
will now install.
- When the installation is complete, click Finish to end the
install program or View Readme to view the readme
file.
The files are installed to /opt/IBMvast/5.5 directory.
