Installing the RealAudio Encoder

This chapter describes the requirements for installing the RealAudio Encoder and the procedure for installing it.

System Requirements

The RealAudio encoder requires the following software and hardware:

The UnixWare 7 operating system.
A UnixWare 7 compatible sound card and device driver-if you want to encode from a live or direct audio source, such as a microphone or compact disc. (You do not need a sound card and device driver for file-to-file encoding.)

Install the RealNetworks encoder package by using the pkgadd command with root permission: For example, if the encoder package is in the /tmp directory, install the package by carrying out the following command:
```
pkgadd -d /tmp/RNencoder.pkg
```
Note
You cannot specify a relative path after the -d option of pkgadd.
When pkgadd shows that the RNencoder package is available, press 1 or Enter.
While processing the package, pkgadd displays the processing steps and the files copied to your system. If the processing completes successfully, you will see the following message:
```
Installation of RealEncoder from RealNetworks, Inc. (RNencoder) was successful.
```

The following table lists and describes the files installed for the RealAudio Encoder.
