The installation program detects the environment that you are running. If you run ./install from
inside of an X Windows desktop, the installation program launches the gui installer. If you run
./install from outside of an X Windows desktop, the installation program launches the cui
installer.
The main installation screen appears (see Using Yosemite Backup Installer below).
Using Yosemite Backup Installer
When the installation main screen appears, select one of the following options (refer to the corresponding
section below):
• Install Yosemite Backup
• Upgrade Yosemite Backup
• Remove Yosemite Backup
NOTE: Once launched, the Yosemite Backup Installer runs the same under NetWare, UNIX, and Linux.
When you are finished using the Yosemite Backup character-based installer, press Esc. Then select Yes
and press Enter when the exit confirmation screen appears. As soon as the console prompt appears,
remove and store the Yosemite Backup CD-ROM.
NOTE: On some platforms, you must umount the CD drive to remove the Yosemite Backup CD-ROM.
To start the Yosemite Backup Administrator, refer to the User’s Guide and Technical Reference.
Install Yosemite Backup
Use this option to install Yosemite Backup for the first time or to reinstall Yosemite Backup. The
Yosemite Backup installer guides you through each step of the installation process. In general, you
should accept the installer’s suggested directory locations.
Before you continue, you must identify the role of this computer:
• Administer an existing Yosemite Backup management domain on a different computer (see Connect
to an Existing Yosemite Backup management domain below).
• Create a new Yosemite Backup management domain on this computer to be a storage server (see
Create a New Yosemite Backup management domain).
Connect to an Existing Yosemite Backup management domain

2. Select a language then select Install and press Enter. The Install To screen appears.
NOTE: At any point in this process, you can press Esc to back up to a previous screen.
3. Enter the name of the installation directory and press Enter. The default is:
• SYS:\yosemite\yosemitebackup (NetWare)
• /usr/local/yosemite/yosemitebackup (Linux/UNIX)
It is recommended that you install Yosemite Backup in a directory other than the root directory.
