How to completely scratch a previously existing Caché installation?

#Caché #System Administration

Hello!

I am trying to install Caché 2016 on a Debian Jessie machine; so I downloaded the latest release from WRC, OS RHEL x86_64, in tarball format.

I untarred it, then launched cinstall; unfortunately a library was missing. I then elected to kill all the processes (which wasn't easy), remove the two users created, and start again.

Unfortunately, for some reason, when I relaunch the install again, the install process still detects the old instance which I installed previously... And I cannot find where this information came from (I removed the install directory by hand entirely).

Where is this information located?

Hi Francis

if you just want to test things, develop or even go into production without all these issues, why not give Docker containers a try?

You'll never be pulling your hair again for these type of issues. You container comes installed (Dockerfile); you just spin it up and when you're done you just dispose of it.

However, you'll have other hair-pulling moments for other things but by then you'll be so deep into DevOps, learning and collaboration that you won't notice it :-)

Seriously, though, it's a great technology for some perfectly fitting use cases, even production if you embrace microservices and you'll be able to run a CentOS, RH, SUSE or Ubuntu container on your Debian Jessie without a glitch.

HTH
