Installing Using GUI Mode

This section describes how to using the GUI installer application to install AquaLogic Data Services Platform on Microsoft Windows and UNIX-based platforms.

To install AquaLogic Data Services Platform in GUI mode:

  1. Launch the GUI installer application.

    2. On Microsoft Windows-based systems, do the following:

    1. Navigate to the folder to which you downloaded the AquaLogic Data Services Platform installer using Windows Explorer.
    2. Double-click on the installer executable file. For example:

      3. aldsp_250_win32.exe

      On UNIX and Linux-based systems, do the following:

    3. Verify that the console attached to
    4. the machine on which you are installing the software supports a Java-based GUI.
    5. Open a command window, and change (cd) to the directory to which you downloaded the AquaLogic Data Services Platform installer file.
    6. Start the installer in a new shell by entering the following:

      7. sh filename.bin

      where filename.bin is the name of the AquaLogic Data Services Platform installation program specific to your platform. For example, enter the following to start the Solaris version of the AquaLogic Data Services Platform installation program:

      sh aldsp_250_solaris32.bin

      Alternatively, if you have the current JDK supported by WebLogic Platform 8.1 in your path you can run: 

      ./aldsp_250_linux32.bin

      The installer application welcomes you to install AquaLogic Data Services Platform, as illustrated in Figure 2-2.
