The SMIT guides you step by step through the installation
process.
About this task
To install the compiler using the SMIT interface, follow
these steps:
Procedure
- Enter the command smit install_latest.
This command runs the SMIT, which presents a menu-driven user interface
for the installation process. You must specify the INPUT device/directory
of the software.
- Press F4 to select from a list of suggested
devices and directories, or type in the name of the CD-ROM device
or the path to the location of the packages. If you want to install
over a network you must have a network server installed, and then
specify the directory on the client that corresponds to the installation
source on the network server.
- Press Enter. At this stage you are prompted
with a list of questions that can help you customize the compiler
installation on your system. Verify the default values, or modify
them where necessary to accommodate your preferences.
Important: You must select yes next to Accept
new LICENSE agreements? to continue with the installation.
Note: - You can select the SOFTWARE to install field
and press F4 to view the installable filesets on
the device or in the directory, then select the filesets to install.
Install the runtime libraries first, then install the other filesets
in any order. It is recommended that you keep the default setting, _all_latest,
to install all the filesets.
- To preview the installation process without actually installing
the compiler select yes next to the Preview only? field.
- Press Enter and then Enter again.
Notes: - The runtime libraries and compiler filesets are always required.
- You do not need all of the compile-time and runtime message catalogs,
only those for the national languages that you need for compile-time
and runtime messages.
- Messages are displayed as each part is successfully installed.
- The installation log is stored in the /home/smit.log file.
