Installing From The Linux And Solaris Command Line

Running the installer from the Linux and Solaris command line avoids the requirement of having a windowing or GUI environment. All interaction with the installer is handled via the text console. The installer is packaged as a shell script. Here is an example:
ODC[MajorA#.MajorB#.Minor#.Patch#.Build#Platform].executable 

example: Linux: ODC13.0.1.0.40736Linux.sh, Solaris: ODC13.0.1.0.40736Solaris.sh

Note:

This example is for Linux on x86, but other UNIX platforms are very similar. The name of the file you download for your platform or software version may differ from the exact name shown in the example.
Follow these steps to install the software from a Linux and Solaris command line:
  1. Once the script is copied into your Linux and Solaris directory, it must be made executable if it is not already. Use the chmod command to set the appropriate read and executable attributes. Here is an example:
    ~> chmod 555 ODC13.0.1.0.40736Linux.sh
  2. After you set the read and executable mode of the file, run the script:
    ~> ./ODC13.0.1.0.40736Linux.sh -c
    The script takes a few seconds to start and begin unpacking the compressed files contained within it. Here is an example of the text that appears on your console:
    ~> ./ ODC13.0.1.0.40736Linux.sh
    Unpacking JRE ...
    Preparing JRE ...
    Starting Installer ...
    This will install Documaker Connector on your computer. OK [o, Enter], Cancel [c]
    
  3. Press Enter to continue with the installation. Here is an example of the text that appears on your console:
    Where should Documaker Connector be installed?
    [/home/example/DocumakerConnector]
    
  4. Enter a different location if necessary or press Enter to accept default location and continue with the installation. Here is an example of the text that appears on your console:

Note:

During the installation on Linux and Solaris, you may see a warning message regarding the Java system preferences store at /etc/.java/.systemPrefs/com. This warning should not affect your installation.
