 Before doing anything it is recommended that you create an installation directory (e.g installations) on your /export/home/username/ directory. This will help you avoid any super user conflicts. For the rest of this walkthrough I will refer to /export/home/username/installations/ as PATHINSTALL. Before doing anything it is recommended that you create an installation directory (e.g installations) on your /export/home/username/ directory.
