Welcome to the Berkeley DB. This manual describes how to
|
||
configure, build and install Berkeley DB. Installation of DB
|
||
for all of the platforms it officially supports is described in
|
||
this manual. Upgrade instructions and release notes for newer
|
||
versions of this product are described here. For infomation on
|
||
upgrading from historical versions, see the
|
||
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17076_02/html/upgrading/index.html" target="_top">
|
||
Berkeley DB Upgrade Guide.
|
||
</a>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Note that some operating systems and distributions might
|
||
provide DB, either by default or as part of an installation
|
||
option. If so, those platforms will have installation
|
||
instructions for DB specific to them. In this situation, you should
|
||
see the documentation for your operating system or distribution
|
||
provider for information on how to get DB on your
|
||
platform.

Berkeley DB is an open-source product, and as such it is
|
||
usually offered in source-code format. This means that
|
||
placing DB on your platform requires you to configure
|
||
the build scripts, compile it, and then install the product
|
||
onto your host system. The exception to this are Microsoft
|
||
Windows platforms for which a binary installer is
|
||
available. Note that for Windows platforms, you can still
|
||
compile the product from source if you desire.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
For *nix systems, including the BSD and Linux systems,
|
||
the usual <code class="literal">configure</code>, <code class="literal">make</code>
|
||
and <code class="literal">make install</code> installation
|
||
process is used to place DB on your platform.
