Netezza ODBC, JDBC and OLE DB Installation and Configuration Guide
Client Tools Installation Procedure for UNIX/Linux
This section describes the steps for installing the Netezza client tools on a UNIX/Linux cli-
ent system.
1. Run the client program for the type of system you are installing on. For example, for a
64-bit Linux system, you would select linux64cli.package.tar. For directions, see
“Installation Files Access” on page 1-5. Make sure to mount it, if it is not automati-
cally mounted on your system.
2. The installation default causes the installation program to create the installation direc-
tory in a directory relative to the root of the file system. So to use the default
installation directory, log in as the superuser to do the installation. Only the superuser
has write access to the root of the file system. Installing the Netezza client tools as the
superuser allows all users of the client system to access the Netezza client tools, data
files, ODBC drivers, and JDBC driver.
Note: In some cases, you can log in as an ordinary user to install the Netezza client
tools. To do so, create the installation directory in a directory for which you have write
access. The procedures in this section assume you can log in as the superuser when
installing software. If not, consult your technical support department to see what
changes to make.
3. Change to the directory corresponding to the platform to install. For example, to
change to the directory for Linux, type the following command:
cd /mnt/cdrom/linux
4. Run the setup command, which checks the client OS to identify the correct client files
and launches the unpack command, or navigate to the correct OS directory and then
run the unpack command as follows:
./unpack
5. The installation program allows you to make the following installation choices:
View the readme file (optional).
Accept the default installation directory or change it. Netezza recommends you
accept the default installation directory.
Select to install the ODBC driver, the JDBC driver, or the OLE DB provider. For
more information on each option, see the appropriate chapter.
6. If you accepted the default for the installation directory, the installation program cre-
ates the /usr/local/nz directory and copies the installation files into subdirectories
within the nz directory. If you changed the default installation directory, the installa-
tion program creates the nz directory in the directory you specified.
Note: If you direct the installation program to create the installation directory in a
directory to which you do not have write access, the program fails and issues a message
that it was unable to create the nz directory. This failure most often occurs if you log in
as an ordinary user for the installation and do not change the installation directory
appropriately.
