On UNIX based machines, executables are typically installed in /opt under a folder named for the product. /opt is usually owned by root, so the Administrator privileges would be required to create the sqdata folder and decompress the package into this location. To allow multiple users to access the package without giving access to everyone, the system administrator can define an sqdata group and grant permissions on the package to the group.
MKDIR '/opt/sqdata/' MODE(7,7,5)Alternatively, the product can be installed into the system account <sqdata_name> user's home directory, eg: /home/sqdata/sqdata. No other special privileges are needed required and the system account user can grant permissions on its own directories and files to a group of individual users and/or everyone else without administrator privileges.
MKDIR '/home/sqdata_user/sqdata' MODE(7,7,5)
