Virtuoso Personal Edition Release 5.0 Installation on Unix

Installation

Once the required tar file has been downloaded from the web or ftp site and placed in a designated installation directory the installation process is ready to commence. Choose or create a suitable user account to own your Virtuoso installation.

The first step is to un-tar the file to obtain the install script and archive file using the following command :

      tar xvf XXpez2zz.tar

      where XX specifies the OS identifier ie l3 = Linux glibc23 x86 , l9 = Linux glibc25 x86_64 etc.

If a license file exists place this in the same directory as installation files and it will be used during installation. If upgrading an existing Virtuoso instance ensure it is shutdown first and a backup of your database file is made, then run the install script using the following command:

$ sh ./install.sh
