Installation & configuration of Sybase DB (15.7) Server on Linux
Download the software:

Setting up Sybase Server by tgz(bin) :

For a licensed version you need to go here: http://sybase.subscribenet.com (account required) or to the eShop at sybase.com: http://eshop.sybase.com/eshop/buy?id=19517

To get a free download you can go to this page http://www.sybase.com/ase_1500devel.
Prepare the Operating System:

Make sure that the file system for the Sybase software is big enough. A full installation needs approx. 1.5 GB so 4 GB should give you enough room to handle upgrades too. we install the software in /opt/Sybase  And storing Database files in /var/sybase.

Become root and add a group “sybase” and a user “sybase” to the system. Also create the needed directories.

groupadd sybase
useradd -g sybase -d /opt/sybase sybase
mkdir -p /opt/sybase
mkdir -p /var/sybase
passwd sybase
chown sybase:sybase /opt/sybase
chown sybase:sybase /var/sybase

Now Use

 sysctl kernel.shmmax

And configure

sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=274877906944

Also added in

Vi /etc/sysctl.conf

kernel.shmmax=274877906944

Installation of the software:

So, switch to the newly created user:

su - sybase

You should now be in the directory /opt/sybase. Make a work directory and put the downloaded Sybase software in it.

mkdir install
cd install
cp /root/ase1570_linx8664_64_02.tgz /opt/sybase/install

tar –xf  ase1570_linx8664_64_02.tgz
