This section provides information about the system requirements for installing and using ArcView on UNIX computers. It contains information such as the supported operating systems and supported database management systems (DBMS). This information is vital if you are responsible for installing ArcView or configuring UNIX workstations on which ArcView is to be installed. This section is organized by platform and operating system. The following information is presented for each platform:

Required system environment: Gives details about the operating systems required to run ArcView, required window manager, memory requirement, swap space, and run-time environment (where applicable).

DATABASE INTEGRATOR System Requirements: Describes the database products and release versions that are supported by ArcView Version 3.0b. These are required to access attribute data in relational DBMSs from ArcView.

Notes:
* Memory and swap space are based on a single user.
** These patches can be obtained from SGI's Web site www.sgi.com.

DATABASE INTEGRATOR software accesses the DBMS through its own networking module (e.g., Oracle's SQL *Net®). It only requires that the basic DBMS kernel and the networking tools be available from the remote node. All DBMS modules can reside on the server node. The networking implementation of the various DBMSs will dictate whether a remote DBMS connection starts a process on the remote node or on the server.

IMPORTANT NOTE:This update will OVERWRITE existing default.apr and arcview.cnt file. If you have customized your system default.apr or arcview.cnt files, you will need to make the same changes to the new files.

1. Download the TAR and compressed file for your platform.
2. Copy the file into your existing arcview3 directory.
   % cp filename.tar.Z $AVHOME
3. Uncompress the Z file
   % uncompress filename.tar.Z
4. Untar the TAR file in your current arcview3 directory. This ensures the existing files are updated.
   % tar xvf filename.tar.Z
5. Open and read the av30binstall.html file for more information about ArcView Version 3.0b, this file is located in $AVHOME/avdocs.

File sizes range in size from 13 to 20 MB.
