Procedure

To install Packaging Utility:

  1. Download the Packaging Utility installation files for your platform.

  2. Extract the Packaging Utility installation package from the compressed file, pu.disk_platform.zip.

  3. Open the directory containing the executable file.

      pu.disk_platform.zip/disk_platform/InstallerImage_platform

  4. Run the install command:

      ./install

    On Windows, use install.exe for installations that use the graphical user interface (GUI). Use installc.exe for silent installations. The install.exe command is not supported for silent installations.

  5. Complete the Install wizard to install the Packaging Utility. If Installation Manager is not already installed, both Installation Manager and Packaging Utility are installed together. You can accept or modify the default values for the different directories.

    You can specify the Shared Resources directory only the first time that you install a package. For best results, select the drive that has the most available space to ensure adequate space for the shared resources of future packages. You cannot change the location of the Shared Resources directory unless you uninstall all packages.
