Installing the Sun Trunking 1.3 Software

Sun Trunking 1.3 provides an automated installation script. In most cases, you can use the following procedure and execute the installation script. If you have any problems, see Appendix A for manual installation procedures.


procedure icon  To Install the Sun Trunking 1.3 Software Packages

1. At the system console, become superuser (root).

2. Change to the directory where the install script resides:


# cd media_path

Where:

media_path = /cdrom/cdrom0, if you are installing from the Trunking 1.3 CD-ROM

or

unzipped Trunking_1_3_path/Trunking_1_3, if you are installing from a download file.

3. Execute the install script:


# ./install 

The install script verifies that the Trunking software is current or needs to be removed before installation can begin, installs the Trunking software packages, verifies the current driver software and patch if necessary. Nothing will be installed until you are prompted to continue.

4. When prompted by the script, press Return to continue, or q followed by Return to quit.
