Starting the installation

You can start the installation from any place in the file system by providing the full path to the installation file.

Procedure

  • To start the installation in GUI mode from the command line:
    • UNIX systems
      1. Open a command window.
      2. Change to the top directory for the Netcool®/Impact installation image impact_install_image_dir.
      3. Type ./install_gui.sh.
    • Windows systems
      1. Right-click the Windows Command Line icon and click Run as Administrator.
      2. Go to the top directory for the Netcool/Impact installation image impact_install_image_dir.
      3. Type install_gui.bat.
  • To start the installation in console mode:
    • UNIX systems
      1. Open a command window.
      2. Change to the top directory for the Netcool/Impact installation image impact_install_image_dir.
      3. Type ./install_console.sh.
    • Windows systems

      Right-click the Windows Command Line icon and click Run as Administrator. From the Windows command line, use the following command to start the installation:

      impact_install_image_dir/install_console.bat

      Where impact_install_image_dir is the directory where you extracted the installation image.

      Tip: The command must use the directory path when you extracted the installation image to.

      For example, on Windows you extracted the installation image to directory c:\Impact71, then to start the console mode installation enter c:\Impact71\install_console.bat
