OS Installation procedure
Preparing Installer

Before you install Informix® database server products, you must prepare your
system and plan for choices that you must make during the installation process.

Preparing for installation includes reviewing system requirements, planning how to


upgrade, deciding on the installation owner and the installation directory, reviewing
installation options, and gathering information if you want to create a database
server during installation. It also includes preinstallation tasks such as obtaining the
software and reviewing the machine notes.
To prepare for installation:

• Obtain the software.


2. Review the Informix components that can be installed with the database server.
3. Ensure that your computer meets the system requirements.
4. Choose a user account with which to install the product. The user account becomes the installation owner.

• UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X: Decide between a non-root owner and an owner with root or administrative privileges.
• If you plan to install as an administrative user, decide on a password for user informix.

5. Choose an installation directory. If the database server is already


installed, decide on the upgrade path.
6. Decide between a typical or custom installation.

a.Choose a typical installation in the following cases:


• To install all database server components, IBM® Informix Client Software Development Kit,
and the IBM Informix JDBC Driver.
• To create a configured database during installation with connectivity for JSON applications and multiple storage
spaces for data.

b.Choose a custom installation if you want to have any of the following options:
• To install a subset of database server components.
• To choose which client products to install.
• In root-based installation, to set up event auditing for the security policies of your organization.
• To create a configured database server during installation with one storage space for data.
• To prepare a response file for a non-interactive installation.
Depending on your operating system, you can choose other types of installations
that have similar options to a custom installation. UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X: You can choose the Legacy
installation to prepare a script-based installation.
Linux: You can choose the RPM installation to generate an RPM package.

7. Decide whether to create a configured database server during installation


• If you do not create a configured database server during installation, you must configure the database server and
initialize disk space after installation is complete.
• If you create a database server during installation, you must supply some information:
• Specify information to configure the database server, such as the number of expected users.
• Windows: For a typical setup, specify a password for user ifxjson. This user administers the JSON wire listener.

8. Decide which edition that you might want to install, and whether to have the Informix
installer run the edition installer. If so, extract the edition installer jar file to the same
folder as the informix installer.
