Linux Installation
[Previous] [Main] [Next]

1.Uninstall any prior or demo version of TurboDB Components from your system and shut-down Kylix.  
 
2.Unzip the downloaded *.zip file to get a *.tar file, e.g: unzip tdbl?.zip. ? stands for e(valuation), s(tandard) or p(rofessional) depending on the edition you have.The commercial editions will need a password to unzip. The password will be sent to you by e-mail when registering your copy.  
 
3.Un-tar the file into one single directory, e.g: tar -xf tdbl?.tar.  
 
4.Run Kylix and select select Components/Install Packages/Add.. in the IDE. Browse for the design time package called dclturbodb33p.so.6.0 file that you just unpacked. It is located in the linux\lib?\Kylix subdirectory of your TurboDB installation directory. (? stands for e, s or p depending on the edition you have.) You must set the directory filter to *.* to see the file.  
 
5.Select Tools/Configure Tools/Add/Browse... and look for the file TurboDBViewer, which can be found in the linux/bin subdirectory of your installation.  
 
6.Select Tools/Environment/Library and add the lib?/Kylix path of TurboDB to the library path.  
 
7.Read the topic "First Steps" in the HTML documentation found in the htmldoc subdirectory. The starting page for the documentation is Index.html.  
 
8.Included in the package is the database management tool TurboDB Viewer, which is a Kylix application and such needs some of the Kylix libraries located in the kylix/bin subdirectory to run.Chances are that this directory is already in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH or that there are already links from a library directory like /bin to the kylix/bin directory. If this is not the case you have to do it now in order to run TurboDB Viewer.
