To perform either a user or system installation on UNIX, the user account under which the install is run must have read, write, and execute permissions to the directory where BusinessObjects Enterprise will be installed. However, if you run a system installation, you require root authority to run the system-level initialization script. This script (called setupinit.sh) is run after the installation completes. This script creates entries into the run control scripts for the operating system that start up the BusinessObjects Enterprise servers when the UNIX server is brought up, and stops the servers when a computer is shut down.
The following table summarizes all the required permissions for installing BusinessObjects Enterprise.
