Choosing the right installer file

The IBM® EMM installation files are named according to the version of the product and the operating system with which they are meant to be used, except for UNIX™ installers intended to be run in console mode, which are not operating system-specific. For UNIX™, different installers are used depending on whether the installation mode is X-windows or console.

Here are some examples of the installers you would choose based on your installation environment.

If you plan to install on Windows™ using either GUI or console mode — Product_N.N.N.N_win.exe is version N.N.N.N and is intended for installation on the Windows™ operating systems.

If you plan to install on Solaris using X-windows mode — Product_N.N.N.N_solaris.bin is version N.N.N.N and is intended for installation on the Solaris operating system.

If you plan to install on a UNIX™ type system using console mode — Product_N.N.N.N_.sh is version N.N.N.N and is intended for installation on all supported UNIX™ type operating systems.
