Extract Files from the Distribution
The Ingres distribution is typically a “CD Image” saveset in tar or tgz format.
Note: If you are upgrading to a new release or service pack, always rename or back up $II_SYSTEM/ingres/install and follow the installation instructions.
To extract the files from the distribution
1. Extract the ingres.tar file from the saveset.
2. Set environment variable II_DISTRIBUTION to point to ingres.tar. For example, in Bourne or Bash shells:
$ II_DISTRIBUTION pathname; export II_DISTRIBUTION
where pathname is the path to the ingres.tar file.
3. From $II_SYSTEM/ingres directory, extract the install files with the following command:
tar xvf $II_DISTRIBUTION install
4. Change to $II_SYSTEM/ingres/install directory, and issue the appropriate command to install Ingres.
