CONTENTS
Chapter 1: Getting started
This guide describes how a UNIX® system administrator can install and license Adobe® FrameMaker®. A software
developer installing the Frame® Developer’s Kit™ can use the commands provided in “Installing files” on page 5
Note: If you currently use an earlier version of FrameMaker, see the Appendix.
About multiple-platform networks
You can install UNIX versions of FrameMaker on a single network of workstations that use the same UNIX file
server. All users on Sun Microsystems™ can share an installation directory and setup files.
Documents created by FrameMaker are compatible across UNIX and Microsoft® Windows® platforms. For more
information, see “Working on Multiple Platforms”, on the Adobe website: www.adobe.com/support/documen-
tation/.

Getting started
Chapter 2: Installing files
This chapter describes how to install Adobe® FrameMaker® 8 files from a CD-ROM onto a workstation or server.
After installing the files, you will set up user environments and licenses.
Note: If you have an earlier version of FrameMaker installed, you must install version 8 of the product in a different
directory (see “Upgrading from an earlier version” on page 61).
Preparing to install FrameMaker
If Adobe® Acrobat® Reader® is not available on your network, you can install it before or after you install
FrameMaker.
Installing Adobe Acrobat Reader
Adobe Acrobat Reader is used to view files in Portable Document Format (PDF), such as the FrameMaker online
manual that is saved as a PDF. The Reader installation is available on your FrameMaker CD.

CHAPTER 2
6
Installing files
Setting up the FrameMaker directory
If you are installing for more than one user, you must put the files in a directory for which all users have read and
execute permissions. The directory must also be mounted on all users’ systems. To install the files, you must have
write permission for the directory. Adobe recommends that you install FrameMaker files in a directory named
frame in the directory where you normally store applications (for example, /usr/frame or /var/frame).
Note: Adobe recommends that you make a separate directory for the FrameMaker files. Install only the files for
version 8 in this directory.
Using hard mounts
The file systems containing your FrameMaker files should be hard-mounted. When you write to a hard-mounted
file system, error-checking guards against truncated files. When you write to a soft-mounted file system, your files
can be truncated without notification by an error message (for example, if the file system is full). If a FrameMaker
process automatically writes to the installation directory, as with license configuration files, the file system
containing your FrameMaker installation directory should also be hard-mounted.
Creating the directory and setting permissions
Do the following to set up the installation directory.
ADOBE FRAMEMAKER 8
Installation Guide
To set up the FrameMaker installation directory:
1 Use the mkdir command to create the directory. For example, enter mkdir /usr/frame
2 Use the chmod command to ensure that users can run the products from this directory. For example, enter
chmod 755 /usr/frame
Note: The remaining installation instructions refer to the directory you just created as install_dir. Type the full name
of the new directory when you see install_dir in a command.
Selecting the files to install
The installation script displays a series of menus that list installation options. Your choices from these menus
determine which files the script installs into the install_dir directory.
Performing a basic or custom installation
The installation script gives you the choice of a basic or custom installation. A basic installation provides a quick
way to install all the files you need for FrameMaker. If you choose a basic installation, the script installs the
following:
7
• Base files for the product
CHAPTER 2
8
Installing files
• Executable files for the platform from which you are installing
• An English-language user interface, or a Japanese-language interface if the LANG environment variable is set
to ja
• Type 1 fo nts
• Multibyte fonts. For more information, see Working with Multiple Platforms, on the Adobe website:
www.adobe.com/support/documentation/.
• All filters (for information, see Using Filters, on the Adobe website: www.adobe.com/support/documentation/)
• All international dictionary and thesaurus files, to allow viewing and editing of documents created in any
supported language
• Demonstration documents and online manuals
• Adobe PDF export filter
• Canadian English D ictionar ies (If you choo se to i nstal l the C anadi an English Dicti onar ies, they w ill replace t he
US English Dictionaries.)
If you choose custom installation, you can choose which features to install. For example, you can do the following:
• Install additional user-interface languages (if you have purchased licenses for international editions of
FrameMaker).
ADOBE FRAMEMAKER 8
Installation Guide
• Select individual international dictionary and Thesaurus file sets to install, instead of installing all files. (This
saves disk space, but may affect the formatting of text in the languages for which you have not installed dictionaries.)
Installing fonts
If your previous version of FrameMaker installed Linotype fonts (Times, Helvetica, Helvetica Narrow, NewCenturySchlbk, and Palatino), the fonts can be copied into FrameMaker 8 installation. You can purchase additional
fonts and add them to FrameMaker. For information, see Working with Fonts in FrameMaker for UNIX, available
in this path: $FMHOME/fminit/<UILanguage>/Documents/Unix_Fonts.pdf.
Installing sample documents and online manuals
A basic installation includes sample documents and online manuals. A custom installation lets you choose
whether to install these files. You might choose to omit these files to save disk space; however, Adobe strongly
recommends that you install the online manuals. These provide valuable information that is not available in the
printed manuals.

CHAPTER 2
10
Installing files
Choosing the user-interface language for international products
A custom installation also lets you choose which user-interface languages to install. The installation script installs
the user-interface, dictionary, thesaurus, and demonstration files in the languages you choose, and optionally
installs online manuals in those languages (some online manuals are only available in English). For information
about changing the default user-interface language after installation. For information, see the online manual
Customizing FrameMaker on the Adobe website: www.adobe.com/devnet/frame-
maker/pdfs/Customizing_Frame_Products.pdf.
FrameMaker modes
FrameMaker is capable of launching and running in different modes. If you want to launch in the FrameMaker
mode, select Maker. If you want to launch in Structured FrameMaker mode, select Structured. If you want each
user to determine which mode to run in, select User Choice.
Installing FrameMaker
These instructions describe how to do the following:
• Check whether the CD-ROM drive is mounted
ADOBE FRAMEMAKER 8
Installation Guide
• Mount the CD-ROM drive, if necessary
• Run the CD-ROM installation script to install FrameMaker files
• Troubleshoot the installation
You can install from a CD-ROM drive on your local system or from a remote system. If the CD-ROM drive isn’t
mounted, you must log in as the root user to mount it. If you need to log in as root to mount the drive, log out
after mounting it and log in under a different name before installing the files. Installing under your non-root user
ID or under a special system administration name makes it easier to safely administer the installation.
Checking for a CD-ROM directory
Normally, the CD-ROM is mounted to the /cdrom or /CDROM directory. Load the disc into the drive and check
for this directory on your system.
If you don’t find a CD-ROM directory, create one and then skip to “Mounting the CD-ROM drive on a local
system” on page 12 or “Mounting the CD-ROM drive from a remote system” on page 14. If you do find a CDROM directory, check whether the drive is mounted as described in the following section.
Checking whether the CD-ROM drive is mounted
If the CD-ROM drive is not mounted, you will have to mount it before you can install the files.
11
CHAPTER 2
12
Installing files
To determine if the CD-ROM drive has already been mounted:
Enter the following command:
/sbin/mount
You should see a list of mounted file systems. If the CD-ROM drive has already been mounted on your local
system, a line similar to the following line appears in the list (where the value of device_name depends on your
system):
/cdrom/adobe_framemaker#1 on /vol/dev/dsk/c0t2d0/adobe_framemaker#1
• If the CD-ROM drive has been mounted from a remote system, a line similar to the following one appears in
the list of mounted file systems (where host is the host name of the remote system):
host: /cdrom on /cdrom
If the drive has not been mounted, please read the following section, “Mounting the CD-ROM drive from a
remote system” on page 14. If the drive has been mounted, skip to “Running the installation script” on page 16.
Mounting the CD-ROM drive on a local system
To mount a CD-ROM drive, you must know your system’s root password.
ADOBE FRAMEMAKER 8
Installation Guide
To mount the drive on a local system:
1 Log in as t he root us er and insert the Fram eMaker C D into the CD d rive. Otherwi se, th e mount c omma nd may
not work.
2 Create the CD-ROM directory by entering
3 Mount the drive by entering the following command:
The CD drive may be automatically mounted for you when you insert the CD. If it is not, type /sbin/mount -F
hsfs –r /dev/sr0 /cdrom
The value of device_name depends on your system. The -r option mounts the drive as read-only. Use this option
to prevent media error messages from appearing.
4 Verify that the drive was mounted correctly by entering the following command:
You should see a list of mounted file systems, including the name of the drive you just mounted.
5 To e xit r o ot , ente r exit
Now, skip to “Running the installation script” on page 16.
13
CHAPTER 2
14
Installing files
Mounting the CD-ROM drive from a remote system
If the CD-ROM drive is attached to a remote system, check whether it is listed in the exports file on the remote
system, and add it if necessary. The exports file specifies directories that can be exported to local systems. Its
pathname and filename depend on your platform.
After checking, correcting, and loading the exports file, you can mount the CD-ROM drive.
To check the exports file:
Log in to the remote system as the root user.
1
2 Change to the appropriate directory by entering the following command:
cd /etc/dfs
3 List the exports file by entering the following command:
ls dfstab
If you do not see the file listed, create the file and edit it as described in the following procedure.
4 Check the contents of the exports file for the following line:
share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom
ADOBE FRAMEMAKER 8
Installation Guide
If you see this line, skip to the procedure, “To mount the CD-ROM drive from a remote system:” on page 15. If
you do not see this line, you need to add it to the file as described in the following procedure.
To edit the exports file:
If the file does not exist, use a text editor to create it.
1
2 Using a text editor, add the following line as the last line of the exports file:
share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom
After editing the exports file, you must load it.
To load the exports file:
The CD drive may be automatically mounted for you when you insert the CD. If it is not, type /sbin/mount -F
