To install a single package
Invoke RPM with the appropriate installation flags, including the path of the package you want to install, as follows:
rpm ‑Uvh path_to_directory/Vector_package.rpm
To install more than one package at a time
Pass multiple file names, specifying the path to each package, as follows:
rpm ‑Uvh path_to_directory/Vector_package.rpm path_to_directory/Vector_package2.rpm path_to_directory/Vector_package3.rpm
To install all packages in the same directory
Specify the following:
rpm ‑Uvh 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/actian/VectorVZ:
rpm ‑Uvh ‑‑prefix=/home/actian/VectorVZ path_to_directory/Vector_package.rpm
Notes:
The default instance ID is VW regardless of the installation directory. To change the instance ID, see Rebuild RPM Package with Unique Name in the Ingres Installation Guide.
All packages installed in a single instance must have the same value of II_SYSTEM. So 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 Vector using the RPM command, you must run the service script to configure the instance.
