List of Tables

2.1. Enhydra -5.1 rpms are provided in two flavours:

Chapter 1. Windows platform

New installations for Windows and for Linux.

Installation for Windows is based on NSIS (Nullsoft Install System) installer.

To install Enhydra 5.1 on Windows platform please start

setup.exe
and choose your jdk root directory and Enhydra root directory.

Chapter 2. Linux platform

On Linux platform you can use installation with rpm packets.

Table 2.1. Enhydra -5.1 rpms are provided in two flavours:

 StandardRelocatable
Source:enhydra-5.1-1.src.rpmenhydra-5.1-1.R.src.rpm
Binary:enhydra-5.1-1.i386.rpmenhydra-5.1-1.R.i386.rpm

Binary rpm in standard flavour can be used with any version of rpm.
The package is installed to /usr/local directory. Although the package is not relocatable, it is possible to manually move it from /usr/local to any directory, and configure it by entering enhydra5.1 directory and issuing the following command:

./configure

Configured in this way Enhydra will operate normally, but subsequent rpm commands (for instance rpm -e, rpm -U, rpm -V, etc.) won't know where to find the enhydra files.

Therefore, we strongly advise you to use the relocatable flavour package in case you need to install enhydra to a non default directory (/usr/local). Unfortunately, rpm version 4.0.2 does not relocate packages correctly, due to a bug. Hence, to install the relocatable package, you must use rpm 4.0.3 or higher (the distribution has been tested with rpm 4.0.4). You should issue the following command:

rpm -i --prefix /directory_path enhydra-5.1-1.R.i386.rpm 
where /directory_path represents the path you want to substitute for the default prefix /usr/local.

Chapter 3. Important note:

After the installation please add

/(Enhydra_ROOT)/bin 
(eg. /Enhydra5.1/bin)

to your PATH enviroment variable.
