Installing New Binary Files

To install new binary files, do the following:

1. Verify that you have the necessary privilege. You must be included in the admin.bos file on the machine on which the binary files are to be installed. If necessary, issue the bos lsadmin command to check.

2. Enter the bos install command to install a new version of each specified binary file:

$ bos install -server machine -file binary_file... [-dir alternate_dest]

The -file binary_file option specifies the pathname of each binary file to be installed on the machine specified with -server. For each file, specify either a full or a relative pathname; relative path names are interpreted relative to the current working directory. An installed file replaces a file of the same name.

The -dir alternate_dest option specifies the pathname of the directory on -server in which all specified files are to be installed. Omit the -dir option to install the files in the default directory, dcelocal/bin; otherwise, provide a full or relative pathname. Relative path names are interpreted relative to the dcelocal directory on -server.
