Installation from CD-ROM or FTP

1. Insert the CD-ROM containing your products into the appropriate drive and mount it using the appropriate "mount" command for your operating system.
   Note: If you are mounting a CD-ROM on HP/UX 11.0, use the following mount command:

   mount -F cdfs -o cdcase,nosuid /dev/dev mountpoint

   where dev is the CD-ROM device assignment.

   If using FTP, download the product from the Micro Focus supportline site. Using a tar command, extract the files in the archive to your installation directory. For example:

   tar-xvf archive-name.tar

2. Change to the mount directory and type:

   ./install

   Follow the instructions on the screen to select the specific platform, installation directory, and products to be installed. If you select a directory that contains a previous version of extend products you are prompted and asked if you want to view a list of files that will be overwritten, and if you want to proceed with the overwrite. If you then select not to proceed the installation is stopped, which enables you to go back and select a different directory.

   Note: For AIX Version 5.1 and later, HP-UX Version 11 and later, and Solaris Version 7.0 and later, ACUCOBOL-GT products may be distributed as shared object libraries. If you install ACUCOBOL-GT as a shared object library and you don't install to the default location, you need to set an appropriate library path variable specifying the location of the shared objects. For example, on an AIX system, you would need to set the LIBPATH environment variable. Note that if you log in as root or superuser, this variable must also be set in root's environment for ACUCOBOL-GT to start. Additionally, see the topic the SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX variable.
   Note: If you choose the default installation directory (/opt/acucorp/9xx), you may want to create a symbolic link to a version-independent directory such as "/opt/acu". This allows you to use "opt/acu/bin" in your PATH setting and "/opt/acu/lib" in your shared library path setting.
3. After your products are installed, the Activator starts automatically. At the prompt, type the product code and product key that came with your product package. When you press Enter after typing in each code and key pair, the license file is updated. Repeat this cycle until the code/key pairs for each product you have ordered are entered.
   Note: Each product searches for its license file in the same directory in which its executable resides. If you move the product's executable to a new directory, you must move its license file to the same location.
4. Start the acushare license manager service by entering acushare -start at the command line.
5. Go to the "sample" subdirectory and try compiling and running the "tour" program with the following commands:

   ccbl  tour.cbl
        runcbl tour.acu

6. If you get the message "Can't find entry for 'terminal' in 'term-lib'", you need to configure your terminal for ACUCOBOL-GT. See Configuring Your Terminals.
7. Once you have the sample program running, you may want to edit the "cblconfig" file supplied with ACUCOBOL-GT to meet the needs of your site. In particular, you should configure it to support the printers you have attached to your system.
8. If you are using shared memory, see the instructions for configuring acushare in ACUCOBOL-GT User's Guide > Compiler and Runtime > Acushare Utility Program.
