You can use these procedures to install Replication Manager on a Linux operating system.
If you do not have the rpm-build software on your system and choose to continue the installation, you can use the following command to determine the level of Replication Manager on your system:
grep -E "^ibmmdmrm\|" ~root/vpd.properties
mkdir /cdrom
mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /cdrom
cd /cdrom/LINUX
The installation program (installer) provides a default installation location (/opt/IBM/mdm/pm) for the component. You can override this by using the installer browse function. When you click Next, the installer analyzes the available space for the location you provide. If there is not enough space, you will not be able to proceed to the next panel in the installation process.
