Sybase IQ Network Client tools

This section includes procedures that tell you how to install the Sybase IQ Network Client on Windows and Linux.

You can also install the IQ Network Client on many end-user machines remotely, without displaying dialog boxes or requiring interactive responses. For directions, see “Installing without human interaction” in the Sybase IQ Installation and Configuration Guide for your platform.

Installing client tools on Windows

Use an account with Administrator privileges to log in to Windows.
Exit any Windows programs running on your machine.
Insert the IQ Network Client CD into the CD drive.

If Network Client Setup does not start automatically:
- Click Start and choose Run.
- Browse to select your CD drive letter and choose setup.exe.
Follow the instructions on your screen to install the IQ Network Client tools.

If you installed Sybase Central, see the Sybase IQ System Administration Guide for instructions on configuring and running the IQ Agent. You must run the IQ Agent in order to use Sybase Central.

Installing client tools on Linux

Sybase IQ Network Client for Linux contains the components required for connection to a network server, and is compatible with IQ servers on all supported server platforms. Avoid installing Sybase IQ Network Client in the same directory as an IQ server.

Use this command to change to the installation directory:
```
% cd $RAP30/VLDBServer
```

Start the install utility sybinstall.

You can run this utility as a series of menus with prompts or bypass menus using the sybinstall command line parameters:

Parameter	Function
-add_agent	Install standalone 12.6 IQ Agent only
-autoinstall	Install all defaults
-help	Display all parameters and usage
-I_accept_sybase_license	Bypass license agreement
-info\|version	Display information about this product
-y	Assume yes for all questions, warnings, and errors

Do one of the following:
- Run sybinstall with all menus and prompts. This allows you to choose the components you want to install:
```
% /cdrom/sybinstall
```
- Run sybinstall to install the default products:
```
% /cdrom/sybinstall -autoinstall -I_accept_sybase_license
```
When the Welcome screen appears, press Return.
Type the number that corresponds to your location.

If you cannot read the license agreement or find a license agreement that matches your location, you can read all available license agreements on the Sybase Web site and rerun sybinstall, passing it the parameter -I_accept_sybase_license. For example:
```
% /cdrom/sybinstall -I_accept_sybase_license
```
The first screen of the Software Test and Evaluation License Agreement appears.
Read and accept the license agreement. As you read, hold down the Return key until you reach the end of the agreement.

The script next lists the amount of free space available in your $RAP30/VLDBServer directory and the amount of space required for the three components it installs.
Do one of the following:
- To install all four products, type S.
- To deselect or change any of the installed products, type the option number at the prompt.
Type S to start the installation.

An installation procedure log is created in $RAP30/VLDBServer/sybinstall.log. If the log file cannot be created in the $RAP30/VLDBServer directory, the path defaults to /tmp/sybinstall.log.

Setting Linux environment variables

After you install Sybase IQ Network Client for Linux, use these instructions to set the environment variables:

Open a command window.
Change directory to $RAP30/VLDBServer/ASIQ-12_6 and use one of the following commands to source the environment variables:
```
% source ASIQ-12_6.csh
```
or
```
% . ./ASIQ-12_6.sh
```
