Linux and UNIX Installation Modifications

Modifications made to Linux or UNIX programs depend on which Linux or UNIX environment and release level you are using. In general, you should:

Decide which installation program you are going to use to install the product. This determines which command is used to perform the installation.
Note: Remember that the files to be installed are found in the temporary directory structure described previously and not on the installation media. You must create an installation script that issues this command.
Verify that the installation process does not require user input at the target computer. If so, your installation script needs to contain answers to those questions. The manner in which you provide these answers depends on the system in use.
Register the script as an item procedure for the program.
