## C.2 Installing the Documentation Library

You can install the Documentation Library from CD-ROM or DVD in one of the following ways:

- Copy the files from the disk to your local computer.

- Use the installer.

### C.2.1 File Copy Installation Method

The simplest installation method is to directly copy the files from the Oracle Documentation Library CD-ROM or Oracle Developer Suite and Documentation DVD to your computer. Use the operating environment commands to copy the contents of the `doc` directory on the CD-ROM or the `/doc_library/doc` directory on the DVD to the appropriate installation directory on your computer.

For consistency with installations performed by the installer, Oracle recommends that you copy the contents to the Oracle home where Oracle Developer Suite is installed, and that you name the directory `doc/dl`.

To copy the documentation from the CD-ROM or DVD to your Oracle home directory, do the following:

Note: This method may overwrite files if the destination directory already exists.

For Windows, enter the following command:

CD-ROM:

`prompt>` `xcopy /s` `cdrom_drive``\doc` `DevSuiteHome`

DVD:

`prompt>` `xcopy /s` `dvd_drive``\doc_library\doc` `DevSuiteHome`

For Linux and Solaris, enter the following command:

CD-ROM:

`prompt>` `cp -r` `mount_point``/doc` `DevSuiteHome`

DVD:

`prompt>` `cp -r` `mount_point``/doc_library/doc` `DevSuiteHome`

### C.2.2 Installer Method

The installer can also install the documentation to your computer from the CD-ROM or DVD.

Note: To use the installer, you must already have the installer or an Oracle product that uses the installer (i.e., Oracle Developer Suite) on your computer.

The following instructions describe how to install the documentation with the installer:

1. Launch the installer from your computer, from the Oracle Developer Suite Disk 1 CD-ROM, or from the Oracle Developer Suite and Documentation DVD. This is the same disk used to install Oracle Developer Suite.

   See Also: Section 2.11.4, "Starting the Installer".

2. At the Welcome screen, click Next.

3. At the File Locations screen, do the following:

   1. If you are using the Disk 1 CD-ROM, eject it and replace it with the Documentation Library CD-ROM. If you are using the DVD, do not eject it.

   2. In the Source field, do the following:

      For Windows, enter:

      CD-ROM:

      `cdrom_drive:``\stage\products.jar`

      DVD:

      `dvd_drive:``\doc_library\stage\products.jar`

      For Linux and Solaris, enter:

      CD-ROM:

      `mount_point_directory``/stage/products.jar`

      DVD:

      `mount_point_directory``/doc_library/stage/products.jar`

      This directs the installer to the installation file for the Documentation Library.

   3. In the Destination section, enter the name and path to the Oracle home you are installing the documentation to, or select one from the list.

      The documentation will be installed in the `doc` directory under Oracle home.

   4. Click Next to continue.

4. At the Summary screen, review the summary and click Install to begin the installation.

5. After installation is completed, the End of Installation screen will appear. Click Exit to quit the installer, then confirm your choice by clicking Yes.

## C.3 Viewing the Documentation Library

You can view the Oracle Developer Suite Documentation Library directly from the CD-ROM or DVD, or from the directory on your computer where you installed it. For information about the tools required to view the documentation, see Section 2.6, "Online Documentation Requirements".

To view the documentation library:

1. On Windows, if you used the installer method to copy the documentation, you can access the library from the Start Menu as follows:

   Start > Programs > Oracle Developer Suite - DevSuiteHome > Documentation > Doc CD

   Alternatively, you can use your browser to open the `index.htm` file from the `doc` directory on the CD-ROM, the `/doc_library/doc` directory on the DVD, or from `DevSuiteHome``/doc/dl` on your computer after installation.

2. Click on a tab.

3. Click on the HTML or PDF link next to a document title to see the document contents.

### C.3.1 Viewing the Release Notes from Disk

To view the release notes from the Documentation Library CD-ROM or DVD:

1. Use your browser to open the `index.htm` file from the `doc` directory on the CD-ROM, or the `/doc_library/doc` directory on the DVD.

2. Click the Getting Started tab. This page displays links to release notes for Oracle Developer Suite and for the individual components.
