    IBM i /user/home/temp
    z/OS /usr/lpp/InstallationManager/V1R4

  4. cd installation files directory

  5. View the license text for Installation Manager from the installation files directory:

      install_files/native/agent.license_version.zip/license.txt

    Windows 
    installc.exe -log log_path 
             -acceptLicense 

    userinstc.exe -log log_path 
              -acceptLicense
    		Not available.
    Other 
    ./installc -log log_path 
           -acceptLicense


    ./userinstc -log log_path 
            -acceptLicense


    ./groupinstc -dataLocation app_path 
             -log log_path 
             -acceptLicense

./groupinstc -dataLocation app_path 
             -input response_file_path 
             -log log_path 
             -acceptLicense

Starting with version 1.4.3, do not use --launcher.ini .ini file as this command option has been deprecated. Commands for version 1.4.2 and earlier are provided in the Examples section.

For Group mode, you can use either command to install. If you are using the first option to install without specifying a response file, you can customize the install.xml file with additional configuration. For example, you can change the directory for the Installation Manager installation.

If you are installing on a GUI platform in group mode, include the -dataLocation option.
