Before you begin
Review the local and remote development environment options for setting up Informix Genero Studio that are described in the IBM Informix Genero Studio User Guide. Depending on your development environment, you can install IBM Informix Genero software on the same computer as the IBM Informix database server that your applications access or on a different computer.
A C compiler is not included with IBM Informix Genero software. You must install a C compiler if you want to create C extensions.
Installing IBM Informix Genero packages
Read the installation guide pertaining to the software package that you want to install. Verify that the listed prerequisites are met. Launch the application program by running the product package executable file or shell script. Follow the prompts on the installation program as it guides you through the installation process.
Before you can create, compile, build, and run applications, you must also configure IBM Informix Genero Studio. Instructions for launching and configuring Informix Genero Studio are in the IBM Informix Genero Studio User Guide.
Database connectivity software
IBM Informix is the default database driver for IBM Informix Genero. The installation media contains IBM Informix Client Software Development Kit (Client SDK), Version 3.50. You can use the IBM Informix ESQL/C driver from IBM Client SDK to develop and run client applications. Applications that run on client computers require IBM Informix Connect to access Informix database servers. Informix Connect is a runtime connectivity product composed of runtime libraries that are included in Client SDK software.
