SAP HANA Database - Client Installation and Update GuideTable of Contents

1 IntroductionUntil SAP HANA SPS 06, the installation of the SAP HANA client was performed as administrator (Windows) or root user (Linux). As of SAP HANA SPS 07, the installation of the SAP HANA client can also be performed without administration rights or being a root user. When installing the SAP HANA client without administrative rights the installed SAP HANA client is only available to the user who installed it. The default installation folder for MS Windows is %USERPROFILE%\sap\hdbclient and for Linux is $HOME/sap/hdbclient.

1.1 Supported PlatformsThe following platform types are supported: AIX HP-UX Linux Microsoft Windows SolarisFor more information about supported platforms, see the tabs Operating Systems Clients for your release in the SAP Product Availability Matrix (PAM) .
