Install Ingres Using RPM Commands
As an alternative to using the express install script, you can install Ingres by invoking RPM directly.
To install a single package
Invoke RPM with the appropriate installation flags, including the path to the package you want to install, as follows:
rpm ‑ivh path_to_directory/Ingres_package.rpm
To install more than one package at a time
Pass multiple file names, specifying the path to each package, as follows:
rpm ‑ivh path_to_directory/Ingres_package.rpm path_to_directory/Ingres_package2.rpm path_to_directory/Ingres_package3.rpm
To install all packages in the same directory
Specify the following:
rpm ‑ivh path_to_directory/*.rpm
To install a package into a non-default location (that is, with an II_SYSTEM value other than the default)
Use the ‑prefix flag when invoking RPM. The following command installs the specified package with II_SYSTEM=/home/ingres/IngresII:
rpm ‑ivh ‑‑prefix=/home/ingres/IngresII path_to_directory/Ingres_package.rpm
Notes:
• All packages installed in a single instance must have the same value of II_SYSTEM. If you use the prefix flag to install the base package, you must install all subsequent packages with the same –prefix value.
• After you have installed Ingres using the RPM command, you must run the service script, which configures the instance. See Configure and Start the Instance.
