Previous Software Releases

If you do not plan to support this new Sun WorkShop release and previous Sun WorkShop releases on the same machine, you do not need to read this section.

To support previous Sun WorkShop releases as well as this Sun WorkShop release on the same machine, select an installation directory for the new release that is different from the directory where the previous Sun WorkShop releases reside. For example, if you previously installed development tools in /opt, install the new development tools in new-directory by creating a directory called new-directory in a file system with sufficient disk space (for disk space requirements, see the READ_ME_FIRST file at the top level of the Sun WorkShop CD).

Follow the installation instructions in "Software Installation Steps ". After installation, modify your PATH and MANPATH environment variables to include the new-directory area. See "PATH and MANPATH Variables" about setting the variables to access the new release.
