Install OpenROAD into an Existing Ingres Installation
Prepare for Installation
Before you install OpenROAD into an existing Ingres installation, you must perform the following steps.
To prepare for installation
1. Shut down your existing Ingres installation (ingstop).
2. Perform a backup of your Ingres installation.
3. Decide which OpenROAD package you want to install:
• ordev for OpenROAD Runtime and Development
• orrun for OpenROAD Runtime only
Note: The ordev and orrun packages do not include the Ingres Net components. The installer does not allow an Ingres Net upgrade because you are installing into an existing Ingres installation. To upgrade your Ingres Net in this situation, you must first acquire and install a new version of Ingres.
4. Decide whether you want the installer to prompt for license acceptance.
5. To install/run OpenROAD correctly, X11 related packages need to be installed. For example:
libX11 xorg-x11-xauth xorg-x11-fonts* xorg-x11-utils xorg-x11-apps xterm
Set DISPLAY environment variable and any ssh/security related settings in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, for example:
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes
