Download the Firebird Vulcan installation kit and run the installation script. For your own convenience, you should add the Firebird Vulcan bin directory to your path environmental variable.

Several files are necessary for Firebird Vulcan to run correctly. They are:

contains error and informational messages written by the server and engine.
contains the text format of error conditions returned by the server and engine.
is the lock file that mediates access between different database users.
The section on Configuration Files describes the use of configuration files.
