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 & Clients are available in two modes:
  • Bundled with the Regatta client library for a simplified all-in-one setup. Bundled packages will contain the “full” suffix.
  • Standalone, allowing dynamic linking to the Regatta client at runtime for greater flexibility.

​
Installation

​
Prerequisites

To run a Regatta client, ensure that the following requirements are met:
  1. Operating system: Red Hat 8–based distribution such as Oracle Linux 8 or RHEL 8.10
  2. Architecture: x86-64 (64-bit)
  3. Required system dependencies: The following system libraries must be installed on the host:
    • glibc
    • openssl-libs
    • libaio

​
Installation

Copy the client RPM package to your target Linux machine and install it:
sudo rpm -i regatta-client-<version>.el8.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.
