Steps

  1. Set up the installation environment.

    1. If you are installing the product remotely, grant access to the X server by typing the command xhost + machine in a terminal window where machine is the name of the machine where you want to install the product.

    2. Log into the machine. If you are installing the product remotely, type the command rlogin machine and type the password.

    3. Log in as root by typing su - root and the root password.

    5. If you are installing the product remotely, ensure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set to the machine's display, for example, setenv DISPLAY local-machine:0.0.

    6. Ensure that the group entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf has files as the first token.

    If you have used es-guiinst to install only add-on products, click Close to exit the installation and setup process. You must set up the add-on products as described by To Set Up an Add-on Product Using es-setup.

    1. To continue to set up, click Next.

    2. To run set up later, click Close.

      You cannot run the product until you have set it up.
