Sun Studio 12 Quick Installation

ProcedureUsing the Graphical User Interface Installer

  1. If you are not currently superuser (root), become superuser by typing:


    su
    Password: root-password
    
  2. In the directory that contains the installer, start the installer by typing:


    ./installer
    
  3. On the Software License Agreement page, click Yes (Accept License).

  4. On the Select Options page:

    1. If the Missing prerequisites field lists any missing prerequisite software, install the missing software by clicking the Update button.

    2. To install the Sun Studio 12 software in a directory other than /opt, type the directory name in the Installation directory field. If you have previously installed some components of the Sun Studio 12 software, the Installation directory field displays that installation directory, and the installer will install additional components in the same directory.

  5. On the Select Components page, click the checkbox for any component you do not want to install. If you want to install only selected subcomponents of the Sun Studio 12 Compilers and Tools component, click the + icon to expand the component, and click the checkbox for any subcomponent you do not want to install.

  6. Proceed through the remaining pages to complete the installation.

  7. Type the following to determine whether you need to set up your access to the Sun Studio 12 software tools and man pages:


    /usr/bin/version
    
    1. If you receive the message /usr/bin/version: not found or the command reports an earlier version of Sun Studio software, see Setting Up Access to the Developer Tools and Man Pages for information on setting your PATH and MANPATH to point to the Sun Studio 12 software.

    2. If the command reports Sun Studio 12 software, you do not need to set yourPATH and MANPATH.
