Complete the following procedure to perform a basic installation
of
Connect:Direct® for UNIX:
- Create the options file to install
Connect:Direct for UNIX.
-
Log in to the target system as root.
Note: If the root password is unavailable, but root authority can be properly acquired per your
company's security policies via a utility like sudo, then acquire root authority via the utility and
then execute cdinstall_a
script.
- Make a deployment directory on the target system to stage the installation files.
Note: The deployment directory must be outside the

directory.
- Copy cdinstall_a, cdinstall,
the cpio file, keycert file, and the options
file to the deployment directory. You can put the cpio file
on a network file system instead of the deployment directory.
