Step: Run the IBM® EMM installer

Before you run the IBM® EMM installer, verify that you have met the following prerequisites.

You have downloaded the IBM® EMM installer and the installers for products you plan to install. Both the IBM® EMM and product installers must be in the same directory.

You have available the information you gathered as described in Information required to install all IBM EMM products.

If you are rerunning the installer on a system where other IBM® EMM products are installed, do not reinstall these other products.

See the other topics in this section for details about the installer, or if you need help entering information in the wizard.

Run the IBM® EMM installer as described here, and follow the instructions in the wizard.

GUI or X Window System mode

Run the IBM_EMM_Installer file. On UNIX™, use the .bin file.

Console mode

Open a command prompt and from the directory where you downloaded the IBM® software, run the IBM_EMM_Installer executable file as follows.

On Windows™, run the IBM_EMM_Installer executable file with -i console. For example, IBM_EMM_Installer_N.N.N.N_OS -i console

On UNIX™, run the IBM_EMM_Installer.sh file with no switch.

On Solaris, you must run the installer from a Bash shell. For example: # bash ./IBM_EMM_Installer_9.0.0.0.sh

Unattended mode

Open a command prompt and from the directory where you downloaded the IBM® EMM software, run the IBM_EMM_Installer executable file with -i silent. On UNIX™, use the .bin file. For example, to specify a response file located in the same directory as the installer:

IBM_EMM_Installer_N.N.N.N_OS -i silent

To specify a response file in a different directory, use -f filepath/filename. Use a fully qualified path. For example:

IBM_EMM_Installer_N.N.N.N_OS -i silent -f filepath/filename

For more information about unattended mode, see Installing multiple times using unattended mode.
