Installing interactively from the Linux and UNIX system console
On Linux and UNIX systems, use Installation Manager console mode to install ClearCase®
interactively using a character-based version of the Installation Manager interface.
Before you begin
About this task
On Linux and UNIX systems that do not support a graphical user interface or to minimize delays
that are caused by network latency when interactively installing ClearCase from a remote system, you can use the
character-based interface in Installation Manager console
mode to install ClearCase. Use this feature to
manage packages from a remote system and for server-side deployments. In console mode, you can
complete the following tasks:
- Install
- Upgrade
- Modify
- Roll back
- Uninstall
To start Installation Manager console mode, use the imcl utility in the Installation Manager tools directory.
These installation steps cover a typical installation scenario by using console mode. During the installation session, console mode prompts are displayed specific to the package you are installing. For information about specifying values or selecting options during the installation, see the product-specific instructions for planning and deploying the product.
The Installation Manager console mode interface uses these
conventions:
- [X] indicates a selected option.
- [ ] indicates an option that is not selected.
- Default commands are enclosed in brackets[ ]. [N]
indicates that the default command is N: Next.
To accept the default entry, press Enter. To change the command, type the option code, then press Enter.
Note: More information about Installation Manager and
console mode is available in the Installation Manager
documentation, see the Installation Manager documentation.
