Siebel Analytics Installation and Configuration Guide > Installing Siebel Analytics Software in the UNIX Environment >

Installation Prerequisites—All UNIX Platforms

---

This section lists tasks that should be completed and items you need to be aware of before installing Siebel Analytics software.

• Choose a user ID that has permissions to run all analytics processes (including the Web server). You may need to create the user ID first.
• If you are reinstalling or installing a new version of Siebel Analytics, you must first uninstall the software. Make backups of the Web Catalog, repository (.rpd), NQSConfig.INI, and NQClusterConfig.INI files and move them to a temporary location.
• An uninstall utility is not provided on UNIX. You can delete the installation directory after saving any repositories and configuration files.
• For DCOM and TCP/IP information, review Upgrade Note On Siebel Analytics Server Client/Server Communication.
• You must have the third-party software for Java and Xvfb installed. See System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Siebel Analytics on Siebel SupportWeb for the correct versions to use with this version of Siebel Analytics.
• Make sure that UNIX-based Siebel Analytics Servers are not included in a Siebel Analytics cluster.
• If you are installing Corda PopChart Server, install from X Window System.
• You need to have Perl 5.0 or above installed. Make sure Perl is in your PATH.

  NOTE:  The Siebel Analytics Server Administration Tool is currently supported only on the Windows platform.
