If you have not yet installed IBMs Installation Manager, check out our article on installing Installation Manager.

The imcl (Installation Manager command line tool) command with the version flag can be used to display the version of Installation Manager that is installed. In this example, the imcl command is located at /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl but you may have the imcl command located at some other directory.

~]$ /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl -version
Installation Manager (installed)
Version: 1.9.1
Internal Version: 1.9.1000.20191001_1228
Architecture: 64-bit

Additionally, if you downloaded an Installation Manager zip file from IBM Fix Central, such as agent.installer.linux.gtk.x86_64_1.9.2001.20211222_1411.zip, and then extracted the zip file to a directory such as /opt/IM, the extracted directory will also contain an imcl command line tool. If you use the imcl command line tool in the extracted directory, the output will include "install kit" which is the version of Installation Manager in the extracted directory and "installed" which is the installed version of Installation Manager (which is at /opt/IBM/InstallationManager in this example).

~]$ /opt/IM/tools/imcl -version
Installation Manager (install kit)
Version: 1.9.1
Internal Version: 1.9.1000.20191001_1228
