This section describes the client and loader tool package installation procedure for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Oracle Enterprise Linux, Rocky Linux, and Ubuntu systems.

Prerequisites

You must have operating system superuser privileges to install the tools package.

Note

Installing the client tools package automatically installs dependent packages not already installed on the system.

Procedure

Perform the following procedure to install the client and loader tools package on a RHEL or Ubuntu system.

  1. Locate the installer file that you downloaded from Broadcom Support Portal. The naming format of the file is greenplum-db-clients-<version>-<platform>.<file_type>.

    Note

    For more information about download prerequisites, troubleshooting, and instructions, see Download Broadcom products and software.

  2. Install the package using your package management utility. You must be the superuser or have sudo access to install packages. For example:

    • To install the tools on a host running RHEL 9.x: 
      root@clientsys$ yum install greenplum-db-clients-7.0.0-rhel9-x86_64.rpm

    The client tools are installed into the /usr/local/greenplum-db-clients-<version>/ directory. The installation process creates a symbolic link from /usr/local/greenplum-db-clients to the install directory.
