Installation Scripts

---

This section contains additional information about the Pervasive.SQL installation.

If using the RPM format of installation, the two installation scripts are run automatically before and after the package manager copies all necessary files onto disk (default location is /usr/local/psql).

If using the tar format, you run only the clientpostinstall.sh script manually during the installation as described in Installing the Client Using Tar .

Whether run automatically or manually, the scripts perform the following tasks:

• Verifies necessary permissions to complete install
• Creates user psql and group pvsw
• Sets user:group ownership to psql:pvsw for the installed files
• Archives certain files if components from a previous engine are in conflict with the new client installation. Archived files are placed in /usr/local/psql/PVSWARCH
