The Regatta client library is a core component required by all Regatta drivers. It provides the underlying communication layer that enables your applications to interact with the Regatta database. Before installing any language-specific driver or tool, the client library must be installed on your system. Regatta Drivers are available in two modes:
  • Bundled with the Regatta client library for a simplified all-in-one setup.
  • Standalone, allowing dynamic linking to the Regatta client at runtime for greater flexibility.

​
Installation

Copy the client RPM package to your target Linux machine and install it:
yum install ./regatta-client-<version>.el7.x86_64.rpm
Once installed, the shared library will be placed in the system library path, typically:
/usr/lib64/libregattaclient1.so.<full.version>
You can verify installation with:
ls /usr/lib64/libregattaclient1.so.*
This confirms that the client library is now available for linking by the drivers.
