Updated:   |  IBM Installation Manager articles

If you have not installed IBM Installation Manager, install IBM Installation Manager

Download the Packaging Utility from Fix Central. This will download a file name pu.offering.disk.linux.gtk.architecture-version.zip. Transfer the download zip file to the Linux server that will be running the Packaging Utility. Let's place the .zip file in the /tmp directory.

/tmp/pu.offering.disk.linux.gtk.architecture-version.zip

 

Make a directory for the Packaging Utility.

mkdir /tmp/PU

 

Unzip the package. The -d option is used to unzip the package to the /opt/PU directory.

unzip /tmp/pu.offering.disk.linux.gtk.architecture-version.zip -d /tmp/PU

 

Optionally, you can remove the .zip file.

rm /tmp/pu.offering.disk.linux.gtk.architecture-version.zip

 

You can view the license before you install the product.

Use the installc command to install Packaging Utility as admin. When installed as admin, only users that have admin priviledges will be allowed to use the Packaging Utility.

/tmp/PU/installc
-installationDirectory /opt/IBM/PackagingUtility
-acceptLicense
-showProgress or -showVerboseProgress

 

Use the userinstc command to install the Packaging Utility as non-admin user. When installed as a non-admin user, only the user that installed the Packaging Utility will be allowed to use the Packaging Utility.

/tmp/PU/userinstc
-installationDirectory /opt/IBM/PackagingUtility
-acceptLicense
-showProgress or -showVerboseProgress
