Use these steps to interactively install Teradata Tools and Utilities using menu selections.
  1. Run ./setup.bat.
    If an error message about one or more missing library files appears, use the yum install command to download and install the files.

    If a pre-15.10 version of TTU Client Utilities is installed, those packages are incompatible with this version and must be removed. A screen similar to the following will display:

    There is a previous release installed that is incompatible with the version of TTU to be installed. The XX.XX TTU Client Software should be removed before installing 15.10.
     
    The previously installed packages can be automatically removed at this time.
    Enter "Yes" to remove the pre-15.10 packages and continue with the
    installation or "No" to cancel the installation? ([y/n] default: Y):
    Removing packages prior to version 15.10.00.00.

  2. If a previous release is installed, select one of the following:
    Option Action

    These packages should be removed before installing 15.10 packages.
    

    The installer exits.

    N (No) Data is deleted during uninstallation (if this is the last remaining version of Teradata Wallet to be uninstalled).
