Note: For any text on this page containing the notations <version> or <arch>, you must substitute the appropriate Java DB version (in the forms 10_5_3_0 or 10.5.3.0) or system architecture ( sparc or i386 for the SPARC and x86 architectures, respectively). For example, the file name javadb- <version>-solaris- <arch>.sh could be javadb-10_5_3_0-solaris-sparc.sh.

Solaris

Download javadb- <version>-solaris- <arch>-pkg.sh.
Make sure that execute permissions are set on the file:
```
chmod +x javadb-

           <version>-solaris-
           <arch>-pkg.sh
```
Extract the Java DB SVR4 packages:
```
./javadb-

           <version>-solaris-
           <arch>-pkg.sh
```
This will create a directory javadb- <version> containing several SVR4 package directories SUNWjavadb-common, SUNWjavadb-client, SUNWjavadb-core, SUNWjavadb-demo, SUNWjavadb-docs, SUNWjavadb-javadoc, SUNWjavadb-service.
Become root by running su and entering the super-user password.
Uninstall an earlier Java DB installation:
If your system has an existing Java DB installation (the default install location is /opt/SUNWjavadb), you must remove it before installing the new version. You can list the installed Java DB packages by running
```
pkginfo | grep SUNWjavadb-
```
Remove the installed packages by running
```
pkgrm SUNWjavadb-client SUNWjavadb-core SUNWjavadb-demo SUNWjavadb-docs SUNWjavadb-javadoc SUNWjavadb-service SUNWjavadb-common
```

Install the new Java DB packages:

cd javadb-

           <version>

pkgadd -d . SUNWjavadb-common SUNWjavadb-client SUNWjavadb-core SUNWjavadb-demo SUNWjavadb-docs SUNWjavadb-javadoc

On OpenSolaris, you would also install SUNWjavadb-service.

Linux

Download javadb- <version>-linux-rpm.bin.
Make sure that execute permissions are set on the file:
```
chmod +x javadb-

           <version>-linux-rpm.bin
```
Extract the Java DB RPM packages:
```
./javadb-

           <version>-linux-rpm.bin
```
This will create a directory javadb- <version> containing several RPM packages sun-javadb-*.i386.rpm.
Become root by running su and entering the super-user password.
Uninstall an earlier Java DB installation:
If your system has an existing Java DB installation (the default install location is /opt/sun/javadb), you must remove it before installing the new version. You can list installed Java DB packages by running
```
rpm -qa | grep sun-javadb-
```
Remove the installed packages by running
```
rpm -ev sun-javadb-common sun-javadb-client sun-javadb-core sun-javadb-demo sun-javadb-docs sun-javadb-javadoc
```
Install the new Java DB packages:
```
cd javadb-

           <version>
```
```
rpm -ivh sun-javadb-*.rpm
```
