== <nop>OpenLink .NET Data Provider for ODBC Installation and Configuration==

**Review Preinstallation Documentation:** [[PreinstallODBCLiteMono|
OpenLink .NET Data Provider for ODBC Pre-Installation Requirements]]

=== Installation===

The  <nop>OpenLink  .NET Data Provider for ODBC  for Mono is currently distributed as a single .dll.

Simply download the .dll and place it in the folder from which your .NET application runs. 

===Configuration===

Ensure that you have obtained your <nop>OpenLink license file. Place this license in the same directory as the .dll.

There is no additional configuration involved, unless you placed your .dll in a non-standard location. If you did not place your .dll in the directory from which your .NET application runs, you need to ensure that your Global Assembly Cache (MONO_GAC_PREFIX) environment variable passes the directory that contains the .dll.

**Connection String**: {{{DSN=;UID=;PWD=;}}}

**DSN** {{{=}}} A local ODBC Data Source Name
