In order to access the necessary product repositories so
that you can install WebSphere® eXtreme Scale Client product offerings, you must install IBM® Installation Manager. You can
install Installation Manager from the command line.
Procedure
- Change to the location containing the Installation Manager
installation files, and run one of the following commands:
- Administrative installation:
installc.exe -acceptLicense -log log_file_path_and_name
![[Unix]](./images/ngunix.gif)
./installc -acceptLicense -log log_file_path_and_name
- Non-administrative installation:
userinstc.exe -acceptLicense -log log_file_path_and_name
![[Unix]](./images/ngunix.gif)
./userinstc -acceptLicense -log log_file_path_and_name
- Group-mode installation:
![[Unix]](./images/ngunix.gif)
./groupinstc -acceptLicense -dataLocation application_data_location -log log_file_path_and_name -installationDirectory Installation_Manager_homeNotes on group mode: - Group mode allows multiple users to use a single instance of IBM Installation Manager to manage
software packages.
Group mode is not available on Windows operating systems.
- If you do not install Installation Manager using group mode, you
will not be able to use group mode to manage any of the products that
you install later using this Installation Manager.
- Make sure that you change the installation location from the default
location in the current user's home directory to a location that is
accessible by all users in the group.
- Set up your groups, permissions, and environment variables as
described in the Group mode road maps in the IBM Installation
Manager Version 1.5 Information Center before installing in
group mode.
- For more information about using group mode, read the Group mode
road maps in the IBM Installation
Manager Version 1.5 Information Center.
- Optional: If the repository requires a user
name and password, create a keyring file to access this repository.
For more information about creating a keyring file for Installation
Manager, read the IBM Installation
Manager Version 1.5 Information Center.
Tip: When
creating a keyring file, append /repository.config at
the end of the repository URL location if the imutilsc command
is unable to find the URL that is specified.

up the repository, you can continue to install
