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://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_05/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. The Windows binary installer provides a
|
||
fairly standard configuration of Berkeley DB; if you
|
||
need special features you may enable
|
||
them by compiling the product from source.
|
||
</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.
