This section describes the client and loader tool package installation procedure for CentOS, Ubuntu, and SLES systems.
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.
Perform the following procedure to install the client and loader tools package on a CentOS or Ubuntu system.
Locate the installer file that you downloaded from VMware Tanzu Network. The naming format of the file is greenplum-db-clients-<version>-<platform>.<file_type>
.
Install the package using your package management utility. You must be the superuser or have sudo
access to install packages. For example:
root@clientsys$ yum install greenplum-db-clients-6.14.0-rhel7-x86_64.rpm
root@clientsys$ zypper install greenplum-db-clients-6.14.0-sles12-x86_64.rpm
root@clientsys$ apt install greenplum-db-clients-6.14.0-ubuntu18.04-amd64.deb
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.
