This topic describes how to install UNIX versions of Demographics Library.

Install the product

Download and extract the contents of the tar file for your particular UNIX operating system.

The tar files for each supported UNIX operating system are located in the /demolib/unix directory.

Install the license files

You only need to install the license file if you are a new customer or if you are renewing your contract with Precisely. Regular updates do not require new license files.

To install the license file, copy or FTP it to your installation directory.

Install the data files

For faster processing, copy all the data files you will be using to a local directory. These files include Census2k.dld and Census10.dld. Copying the data files to your hard drive allows for quicker processing, but requires considerable disk space.

For descriptions of the data files you may need to complete the desired processing, refer to the "content" and "datasets" notes available through viewrel.sh as follows:

csh viewre1.sh <cdrom> <unix file name>

Where <cdrom> indicates where the Software Installation CD is mounted and <unix file name> indicates which note to display (content or datasets).

Once you have copied all of the data files to your local hard drive, add the data files path to Demographics Library's Search Path.
