Installation Guide

Installing a client

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:

To install a VisualAge Smalltalk client, do the following:

  1. On the Welcome window, select Readme to view the readme file for any late-breaking information on the UNIX version of VisualAge.
  2. Read the License Agreement. If you agree to the terms and conditions, select Accept. Otherwise, Decline and exit the installation.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
