I just downloaded that the Informix SQL trial - can somebody help me install it?

I can't even launch the installation program - I'm typing 'install' - but it doesn't work. When i type install --help I get the following help:

Install [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST


What is source and dest? How can I run this?

I'm relatively new to Linux - layman terms please.

'install' is a program in linux - see 'man install' for more info.

You probably need to do './install' or something like that. Read the docs.

BTW, why are you using Informix? PostgreSQL is open source, and very good - www.postgresql.org (http://www.postgresql.org)
