Using the Command-Line 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 -nodisplay

3. Read the Software License Agreement and accept it by typing yes.

4. If the installer reports that any prerequisite software is missing, install the missing software by choosing Update All Prerequisites.

5. If you have previously installed some components of the Sun Studio 12 software, the installer will install additional components in the same directory. If you have not previously installed any components of the software, and you want to install the Sun Studio 12 software in a directory other than /opt, specify the installation directory.

6. Select Continue to advanced options, and select Copy system prerequisites.

7. Deselect any software component or subcomponent you do not want to install.

8. Follow the installer instructions to complete the installation.

9. On each client system, set the PATH and MANPATH to access the Sun Studio 12 software and man pages on the server (see Setting Up Access to the Developer Tools and Man Pages).

10. On each client system, mount the directory on the server in which you installed the Sun Studio 12 software.

    mount server:filesystem installation_directory

11. On each client system, run the system preparation tool on the server to check the client system for the prerequisite software and again, if necessary, to install any missing software.

    prepare_system -C prepare_system -s missing_software_name,missing_software_name,...
