10. Type "S", then press Enter to start the installation.
Note - if the setup script is not available for your Unix platform or you don’t want to use it, just extract the tgz content to the folder where you want isCOBOL to be installed.
isCOBOL Evolve for UNIX/Linux provides shell scripts in the isCOBOL "bin" directory for compiling, running, and debugging programs. These scripts make use of two environment variables, ISCOBOL to locate the isCOBOL installation directory and ISCOBOL_JDK_ROOT to locate the JDK installation directory. To use these scripts set these environment variables and add the isCOBOL "bin" directory to your PATH.
For example, if you install isCOBOL in "/opt/isCOBOL" and your JDK is in "/opt/java/jdk1.8.0":
export ISCOBOL=/opt/isCOBOL export ISCOBOL_JDK_ROOT=/opt/java/jdk1.8.0 export PATH=$ISCOBOL/bin:$PATH |
Other Unix
A dedicated setup is provided for the following Unix platforms:
• Linux 32 bit
• Linux 64 bit
• FreeBSD
• Mac OSX 64 bit
• SunOS
f you need to install isCOBOL on another Unix platform, you can use the platform independent setup.
This setup includes only the cross platform items while it lacks native items. Contact Veryant if you need the porting of a native item to your Unix platform.
Instructions for the installation of the platform independent setup are provided below.
1. If you haven't already done so, Download and install the Java Development Kit (JDK).
2. Go to "https://www.veryant.com/support".
3. Sign in with your User ID and Password.
4. Click on the "Download Software" link.
5. Scroll down to the "Platform Independent" section and select isCOBOL_2022_R1_n_noarch.tar.gz, where n is the build number.
Extract all contents of the archive:
gunzip isCOBOL_2022_R1_*_noarch.tar.gz tar -xvf isCOBOL_2022_R1_*_noarch.tar |
