Using Express and Typical
Installation
This chapter describes how to perform basic installation activities. This chapter
contains the following sections:
• Using Express Installation (page 43)
• Using Typical Installation (page 45)
Using Express Installation
Use express installation if you are installing Directory Server to evaluate or test the
product. Because express installation does not offer you the choice of selecting your
server port number or your directory suffix, you should not use it for production
installations.
To perform an express installation, do the following:
1. On UNIX machines, log in as root (root login is required for express
installation). On Windows machines, log in with administrator privileges.
2. Create a new directory:
# mkdir ds
# cd ds
3.
If you have not already done so, download the product binaries file to the
installation directory.
4. On UNIX, unpack the product binaries file using the following command:
# gunzip -dc filename.tar.gz | tar -xvof -
where filename corresponds to the product binaries you want to unpack.
