Quick Installation and Startup Instructions
for Sun Studio 11 Software

To install the Sun Studio 11 software:
  1. If you are not currently superuser, become a superuser (root) by typing: 
    % su 
Password: root-password
  2. Make sure you are in the Sun Studio product directory, which contains a copy of this document and the product installer.

  3. To install the Sun Studio software, run the graphical user interface installer by typing: 
    ./installer

    If you want to run the command-line installer instead of the graphical user interface installer, type: 

    ./installer -nodisplay.

    Follow the instructions in the installer to complete the installation.

    Note: You must install Sun Studio 11 software in a different directory from other Forte Developer releases, Sun ONE Studio releases, and Sun Studio releases.

  4. Set your PATH environment variable to include the path /installation_directory/SUNWspro/bin on Solaris platforms or /installation_directory/sun/sunstudio11/bin on Linux platforms.

  5. Set your MANPATH environment variable to include the path /installation_directory/SUNWspro/man on Solaris platforms or /installation_directory/sun/sunstudio11/man on Linux platforms.

  6. If you use a HTTP proxy server to access the Internet, set the ALL_PROXY environment variable to your proxy settings so that you can use the Update Notification feature of the Sun Studio 11 software.

  7. You can start the Sun Studio 11 IDE using the sunstudio command located at /installation_directory/SUNWspro/bin/sunstudio on Solaris platforms and /installation_directory/sun/sunstudio11/bin/sunstudio on Linux platforms.

  8. Visit the Sun Developer Network (SDN) Sun Studio portal at http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio for code samples, documentation, forums, newsletters, and much more.
