Launch the installer from a download‌

Download the installer and run the installer.

Download the installer

  1. Download the software from Support.

  2. To unpack a tar file, run the following command:

    tar xvf <filename>.tar

    Note:  

    • There are separate installers for servers, agents, and clients.

    • If your UNIX system has an X11 windowing environment the installer installs the JRE and runs in a graphical user interface (GUI) mode. No pre-installed JRE is required.

    • If your UNIX system is a VT100/dumb terminal system, you can specify -console when you initiate the installer so that the launcher runs in character user interface (CUI) mode. This CUI mode is completely analogous to the GUI mode. For details, see xxx.

    • To unpack a Solaris tar file, use gtar.

Run the installer‌

  1. Log in as user root.

  2. Change the protection of the installer file to allow it to execute:

    chmod +x ./Dimensions_<application>_<platform>.bin

  3. To set the file mode creation mask, run this command:

    umask 022

  4. Navigate to and run the extracted file for your platform:

    • GUI mode: ./Dimensions_<application>_<platform>.bin

    • CUI mode: ./Dimensions_<application>_<platform>.bin-console

    In GUI mode the associated JRE is installed, which may take some time. After the JRE is installed the installer resumes.

    The Solaris installer does not include Java, so you must install your own.
