Installing the Connector Using the Tarball Package

The Simba Netezza ODBC Driver is also available for macOS as a .tar file named Simba Netezza 1.0.tar.gz. The connector supports both 32- and 64-bit client applications.

To install the connector using the tarball package:

  1. Log in as the root user, and then navigate to the folder containing the tarball package.
  2. Run the following command to extract the package, and install the connector:

    3. tar --directory=/opt -zxvf [TarballName]

    where, [TarballName] is the name of the tarball package containing the connector.

    The Simba Netezza ODBC Driver files are installed in the /opt/simba/netezzaodbc directory.

  3. If you received a license file through email, then copy the license file into the /opt/simba/netezzaodbc/lib/32 or /opt/simba/netezzaodbc/lib/64 folder, depending on the bitness of the connector that you have installed. You must have root privileges when changing the contents of this folder.

Next, configure the environment variables on your machine to make sure that the ODBC driver manager can work with the connector. For more information, see Configuring the ODBC Driver Manager.
