INSTALLING OVER OLDER VERSIONS OF PV‑WAVE: You should not install this version in a directory structure that already contains a previous version of PV-WAVE. Instead, we recommend that you either move the previous version to another directory, or install this version in a separate directory.
 
INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: The path to the installation directory should not contain spaces. The installation directory is identified as <RW_DIR> throughout this document.
 
REDUCING THE INSTALLATION DISK SPACE REQUIRED: You can reduce the disk space requirements for installation by deselecting options and features that may not be necessary at your site in the Choose a Product and/or Customize Your Installation window.
An X Window System display is required for this installation. After you complete the installation, we recommend that you review the file ownership settings and make changes as appropriate for your site.
