ECN-4429 The extend UNIX product now uses an executable installer

Type of Change: Enhancement

Product: ACUCOBOL-GT

Module: All

New Version: 10.1.0

Machines Affected: all UNIX

Description:

To install extend on UNIX platforms, you must now run an executable installer, instead of the previous installation process of extracting the installation from a .tar file. The new installer will be named similarly to the old tar archives; for example, instead of:

acucob1010pmk10stACU.tar

the installer will be named:

setup_acucob1010pmk10stACU

In order to run the installer, the tar utility must be specified in your PATH. The installer can be run with or without additional options. When run with no options specified, the installer prompts you to accept the terms of the License Agreement. If you want to review the EULA documentation before accepting, you must answer 'N', and then rerun the installer again, including the -EULA option.

The default installation path is to install in the current directory (.); you may accept the default or specify another destination. If you want to change the default installation directory that is prompted, run the installer using the -d path/to/install option.

Tip: The installed product contains several files and directories, so it is advisable to install to a container directory to hold them all.

You can also run the installer with the -help option to display the available options.
