Download the file spdbv37sp5-Linux.tar.gz after accepting the license agreement.
Uncompress the file spdbv37sp5-Linux.tar.gz into a temporary directory (ex: temp)
```
mkdir temp
```
```
cd temp
```
Assuming spdbv37sp5-Linux.tar.gz is downloaded to the /data directory,
```
tar zxvf /data/spdbv37sp5-Linux.tar.gz
