Installation Methods

When you install Dynamic Server on UNIX and Linux, you have several options.

Installing with the installation application
- Using console mode (the default)
- Using GUI mode
- Using silent mode
Installing using the extraction with command-line script
Installing by invoking the JAR file directly
Installing with RPM Package Manager (Linux only)

These methods are described in the sections that follow.

Depending on the installation medium and method you choose, you need differing amounts of disk space, as describe in the following table.

Table 5. Install Medium and Disk Space Required
Install Medium and Method	Products and Amount of Disk Space Required
Installing from CD-ROM directly using the installation application.	All products (excluding ISA) Less than 500 MB Database server only Less than 350 MB IConnect Less than 125 MB Client SDK Less than 150 MB JDBC Less than 50 MB
Downloading the installation program files to the install machine.	All products (excluding ISA) Less than 1 GB Database server only Less than 800 MB IConnect Less than 275 MB Client SDK Less than 300 MB JDBC Less than 100 MB
Using the extraction option and then running command-line script.	Database server only Less than 350 MB IConnect Less than 150 MB Client SDK Less than 175 MB
Installing ISA	Have at least 50 MB free disk space available temporarily to extract the .cpio file Have at least 30 MB free disk space for the ISA distribution

Attention:

Ensure that you have 160 MB free space available in your /tmp directory before installation if you are using the JRE that is part of the installation application. If you are using a JRE already present on the host computer, you need less than 1 MB. This space requirement is included in the total disk space requirements listed in the above table.
