Installing Manual

Which type of installation?

This guide describes three kinds of installation options: single-user, multi-user and Mac OS

X. How do you know which one to pick?

• If you are running Mac OS X, then pick the Mac OS X installation. Otherwise, read

on.

• If you prefer to install software as Administrator/root and run it as a regular user, go to

the Multi-user installation.

• If you do not have to login to use your computer, or you are not familiar with

Administrator/root installations, use the Single-user installation.

Single-user installation

This option is available for Linux, Solaris and Windows (all versions). The procedure is

described only once since it is nearly identical for all of these platforms. Platform-specific

comments are included when needed.

1 Run the setup program

Enter the installation directory for your platform. Then find the setup program and run it.

This program is called

setup.exe under Windows.

Under Linux and Solaris it is

called setup.
