Installing on Linux

The following instructions describe the Classic installation. For installation of Superserver the "CS" in the package name is replaced by "SS". For example, the package FirebirdCS-2.1.n-nnnnn.i686.rpm is replaced by FirebirdSS-2.1.n-nnnnn.i686.rpm.

Note

For those who, in the past, have had trouble installing Firebird on Slackware, the good news is that the installers in this version do include Slackware support.

Log in as root, or open a root shell. In the example filenames, replace nnnnn with the build number of the kit you actually have.
