Installing locally on AIX

If you click Cancel before the Install Progress panel appears, you can exit the setup. If you choose to exit, your system returns to its state before launching the install wizard. However, if you cancel the install wizard after the Install Progress panel appears, your system is not restored to its previous state: the install wizard simply stops.

When using the wizard, you might have to wait a few seconds to move to the next panel after clicking the Next > button. Progress is not always displayed on all platforms. Clicking Next > twice can cause you to skip an entire panel. To ensure the installer is progressing, you can monitor your CPU usage: CPU usage increases greatly during installation.

  1. Ensure you are logged in as root.
  2. Run the following AIX installer: setupaix [-options-...] where [-options-...] are:
    Command line option Description Use
    -accessibility Sets the installation automatically to console mode so you do not need -console option as well. It provides additional audible information for visually-impaired users. <launcherName> -accessibility
    -console Specifies the console interface mode. Messages are displayed on the console during installation. If you use the -console option, you must also use the -is:javaconsole option. <launcherName> -console-is:javaconsole
    -is:javaconsole When you use the native launcher with the -console option, you must also use the -is:javaconsole option to display the Java console, which is required for user interaction. <launcherName> -console -is:javaconsole
    -options <responsefile> Specifies that the wizard executes an options/response file. An options/response file contains command line options, each line contains one, that set specified install wizard instructions. Use the full path to the <responsefile>. <launcherName> -silent -options <responsefile>
    -options-record <responsefile> Specifies that the install wizard should automatically generate an options/response "record" file, <responsefile>, for the project after completion. Use the full path to the <responsefile>. <launcherName> -options-record <responsefile>
    -options-template <responsefile> Specifies that the install wizard should automatically generate an options/response "options" file, <responsefile>, for the project while running, which can be edited and used to provide user input during a later run. Use the full path to the <responsefile>. <launcherName> -options-template <responsefile>
    -silent Specifies a silent install where the install is performed with no user interaction. You can use the -silent option with other no options at all, or you can use the -silent option with -options <responsefile>. If you do not use a custom <responsefile>, the default settings are used. <launcherName> -silent -options <responsefile>
