Installing Postgres Plus Advanced Server with the Graphical Installer
---------------------------------------------------------------------
You must have superuser privileges to install Postgres Plus Advanced Server.  
Follow these steps to install Postgres Plus Advanced Server with the
Graphical Installer:
Download the installation archive.  Open a terminal window, and navigate to the
directory that contains the archive.  Unpack the archive with the command:
    # tar -zxvf ./ppasmeta-8.4.4-10-linux.tar.gz
   
The 'tar' command unpacks the archive into a new subdirectory whose name is
derived from the name of the installer.  To start the installation wizard, navigate
to the new subdirectory and enter the command:
    # ./ppasmeta-8.4.4-10-linux.bin
Follow the onscreen dialogs to complete the installation.
   
Installing Postgres Plus Advanced Server at the Command Line
------------------------------------------------------------
You must have superuser privileges to install Postgres Plus Advanced Server.  
Use the "--mode text" option to start the installation script.  Navigate to the
directory containing the installer, and enter the command:
    # ./ppasmeta-8.4.4-10-linux.bin --mode text
Follow the script to complete the command line installation.
  
   
General Notes
-------------
During the installation process, Advanced Server creates a file that contains
additional environment variables that make it easier to access Advanced Server
executables.  You can find the file at ($EDB_HOME/pgplus_env.sh).  
Usage instructions are included in the file.  
If you encounter difficulty displaying Java-based applications (controls or text
not being displayed correctly, or blank windows), upgrading to the latest
libxcb-xlib libraries should correct the problem on most linux distributions.

----------
If SELinux is installed and enabled on your system, you must set SELinux to
permissive mode before installing Postgres Plus Advanced Server; the specific
command you use may vary depending on the Linux distribution.  
The following example works on Redhat Enterprise Linux, Fedora Core or CentOS
distributions; use comparable commands that are compatible with your Linux
distribution to set SELinux to Permissive mode during installation and return
it to Enforcing mode when installation is complete.
Before installing Postgres Plus Advanced Server, set SELinux to Permissive mode
with the command:
   
    # setenforce Permissive
   
When the installation is complete, return SELinux to Enforcing mode with the
command:
    # setenforce Enforcing   
   
----------
Either xterm, konsole, or gnome-terminal must be installed on your system to
execute any console-based program installed by the Postgres Plus Advanced Server
installer.  Without a console program, you will not be able to:
    * Launch EDB*Plus from Migration Studio
    * Launch edb-psql from Migration Studio
    * Use menu items to edit configuration files
----------   
PL/Perl and PL/TCL shipped with Postgres Plus Advanced Server are compatible
with ActivePerl 5.10 and ActiveTcl 8.5 respectively.
