Overview

There are three installation procedures available:

  1. Standard Installation utilizies binary (precompiled) distributions of SysInfo™. This procedure is recommended for most customers. The binary distribution can be customized to meet the needs of nearly all customers. Everything you need is precompiled and ready to install. This is the fastest and easiest means of installing SysInfo™. We strongly recommend you use this procedure.

  2. Advanced Installation allows for specialized installation of binary distributions including automated installations requiring no user input. This procedure should be used primarily both those who need to automate the installation of SysInfo™ across multiple systems, especially in environments with many systems.

  3. Source Installation builds the software from source code (provided you have access to it) and installs the resulting built product. This procedure is very time consuming and exacting in its requirements. We highly recommend you use either the the section called “Standard Installation” or the section called “Advanced Installation” procedure.
