Gold uses the standard configure, make and make install steps that we all know and love. However, there are a number of preparation, prerequisite, setup and customization steps that need to be performed. This document provides general installation guidance and provides a number of sample steps referenced to a particular installation on a Linux platform using the bash shell. These steps indicate the userid in brackets performing the step. The exact commands to be performed and the user that issues them will vary based on the platform, shell, installation preferences, etc.
To build and install Gold, you first need to unpack the archive and change directory into the top directory of the distribution. For security reasons, it is recommended that you install and run Gold under its own non-root userid.
[root]# useradd gold
[root]# passwd gold
[gold]$ mkdir ~/src
[gold]$ cd ~/src
[gold]$ gzip -cd gold-2.b2.7.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -
[gold]$ cd gold-2.b2.7.0
