<para>This guide shows you how to install, upgrade, and remove OpenDJ

software. Unless you are planning a throwaway evaluation or test

installation, read the <link xlink:href="release-notes#release-notes"

If you want only to try OpenDJ server software,

and you do not plan to store any real or important data that you want to keep,
|
then you need not read this entire guide.

Instead read the procedures

<title>Who Should Read this Guide</title>
|
|
<para>This guide is written for anyone installing OpenDJ who plans to
|
maintain directory services for client applications. Basic OpenDJ
|
installation can be simple and
|
straightforward, particularly if you are already acquainted with directory
|
services. Upgrading a running directory service without a single point of
|
failure that can cause downtime requires at least a little thought
|
and planning. Also, even in the case of basic installation, you may
|
find yourself wanting more background about what you are doing.</para>
|
|
<para>This guide covers the install, upgrade, and removal (a.k.a. uninstall)
|
procedures that you theoretically perform only once per version. This guide
|
aims to provide you with at least some idea of what happens behind the
|
scenes when you perform the steps.</para>
|
|
<para>You do not need to be an LDAP wizard to learn something from this
|
guide, though a background in directory services and maintaining server
|
software can help. You do need some background in managing servers and
|
services on your operating system of choice. You can nevertheless get
|
started with this guide, and then learn more as you go along.</para>
