1 Establish Informix Users and groups

AddGroup Informix

Adduser-g Informix Informix

passwd Informix

2 Login to root user and set up the installation directory

Mkdir/opt

Chown informix/opt

3 to the Informix user Login, and set up the installation directory

4 Increase environment variables

Export Informixdir=/opt/informix

Export informixserver=demo_on

Export path= $PATH: $INFORMIXDIR/bin

5) Expand the installation file

Adduser-g Informix Informix

passwd Informix

2 Login to root user and set up the installation directory

Mkdir/opt

Chown informix/opt

Login with Informix user and set up the installation directory

Mkdir/opt/informix

3 Increase environment variables

Export Informixdir=/opt/informix

Export informixserver=demo_on

Export path= $PATH: $INFORMIXDIR/bin

4) Expand the installation file

RPM-IVH ids.rpm

5) Install the database

With root login, run/opt/informix/installserver, enter serial number and Key number as prompted

6 to Informix User Login

7 Establish the database file

Mkdir/opt/data

Cat/dev/null >/opt/data/my_data

Modify/etc/services file to increase

Demo_on_service 1543/tcp

9 Initialize and start the database

Oninit-i

10) Set up demo database Stores7

Run/opt/informix/bin/dbaccessdemo7

11) View the database

Run dbaccess, with Informix user registration, select DEMO_ON Database, you can see the Store7 demo data
