Installing Informix® and client products quickly with defaults (UNIX™ and Linux™)
You can install HCL Informix® and all its features quickly by using the typical setup for installation.
Before you begin
About this task
A typical installation offers the choice of creating a server that is configured for your host environment. If you choose to create the server, it is configured by the choices that you make in the installation program and started after installation is complete. You must also supply a password for the ifxjson user to administer the JSON wire listener.
To install Informix® and client products on Linux™ or UNIX™:
Procedure
- From a command prompt, run the installation command for
the products that you want to install and specify the options for
the commands.The commands are in the directory where the media files are located, referred to as media_location in this documentation. The installation application runs in console mode by default, unless you specify GUI mode when you issue the command.

- Installs Informix® with all features, and any bundled client products that you select.
