# Installation Guide

## Installing VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Version 6.0 on UNIX

Note:
  It is no longer necessary to uninstall previous versions of VisualAge Smalltalk prior to installing version 6.0.

Note:
  Uninstalling VisualAge Smalltalk Version 6.0 removes VisualAge Smalltalk Version 6.0 and all subsequent refreshes of VisualAge Smalltalk 6.0.

Note:
  On a UNIX platform, you must create the `/opt/IBMvast/6.0` directory before running the install.

This section guides you through installing VisualAge on UNIX.

1. Mount the installation CD and change your current working directory to the client (cd-c) or manager (cd-m) directory as appropriate.
2. Change your current working directory to a platform-appropriate subdirectory of the temporary directory:
   - install_a for AIX
   - install_h for HP
   - install_l for Linux
   - install_s for Solaris
3. Make sure that you are running as root.
4. Create the path /opt/IBMvast/6.0 if it does not already exist.
5. Run setup.
   - From the shell command line, run `xterm -sb -e ./setup&`
6. To install the manager, see Installing the library manager. To install the client, see Installing a client.
