Commands to install Installation Manager

Only one administrator instance of Installation Manager can be installed. For nonadminstrators, install only one instance of Installation Manager for each user. The install, userinst, and groupinst commands install Installation Manager in administrator, nonadministrator, and group mode. Changes that you make to the one instance of Installation Manager do not affect other instances of Installation Manager. Each instance of Installation Manager must have its own installation directory and agent data location.
