There's an install pdf on IBM's website.

I had to do a couple of things for Fedora 5 to get the installation to work:
ln -s /bin/zcat /bin/uncompress
You uncompress the tarball, and run the command
cpio -ivcBdum uv.load < /mnt/STARTUP
This will give you an install script.
I had to substitute the directory where I unzipped the files
Like this:
cpio -ivcBdum uv.load < /tmp/uv.tmp/STARTUP
The you have to change the default location where the compressed files
are in options 4 and 5 to wherever you unzipped the files to.
The current settings of the available options are:
UniVerse installer : root
UniVerse administrator : root uid=0 gid=0
1) UniVerse home directory: /usr/ibm/uv
(currently: Not Installed.)
2) UniVerse-UniData shared directory: /usr/ibm/unishared
(currently: Not Installed.)
3) Compile terminfo definitions: true
4) Rewind tape name /dev/rmt/0m
5) No-rewind tape name /dev/rmt/0mn
6) Long File Names OFF
Enter a field number to change, q to abort installation,
I change mine to /tmp/uv.tmp for 4 and 5.
