To install HammerDB on Linux you have the option of using the self-extracting installer or a tar.gz file. The self-extracting installer will create an uninstall executable for you. A tar.gz installation can be deleted manually. In both cases the install is entirely self-contained within the installation directory.
To install from the self-extracting installer using a graphical environment refer to the previous section on the self-extracting installer for Windows, the installation method is the same. Alternatively the installer can also be run at the command line as follows specifying the installation directory when prompted.
#./HammerDB-3.3-Linux-x86-64-Install This will install HammerDB on your computer. Continue? [n/Y] Y Where do you want to install HammerDB? [/usr/local/HammerDB-3.3] Installing HammerDB... Installing Program Files... Installation complete.
To install from the tar.gz run the command
tar -zxvf HammerDB-3.0.tar.gz
This will extract HammerDB into a directory named HammerDB-3.0.
To start HammerDB change to the HammerDB directory and run locally as follows.
./hammerdb
