Standard installation with IBM Maximo Application Suite CLI

You can install the IBM® Maximo Application Suite by using a command-line interface (CLI) utility.

Before you begin

You can use IBM's container image to install Maximo Application Suite. The container image provides an out of the box environment for managing Maximo Application Suite on Red Hat® OpenShift®, with numerous dependencies preinstalled.
In a scenario where you need to install the CLI utility, which is an open source tool, on your local system, you must configure the following software.

Bash (v4)
Red Hat OpenShift client
IBM Cloud® client with container plug-in enabled
Note: IBM Cloud is not required if you are deploying Maximo Application Suite on an organization's Red Hat OpenShift cluster.
Ansible®
Python
Network access to the Red Hat OpenShift cluster

Download the Maximo Application Suite CLI utility onto the bastion host. This utility provides commands to manage the local docker registry, configure policies in the Red Hat OpenShift cluster, and deploy Maximo Application Suite.

For more information about installing the utility, see Maximo Application Suite CLI Utility.

To use the Maximo Application Suite CLI utility, ensure that the bastion host has support for running docker containers.

For more information, see Planning for IBM Maximo Application Suite standard installation with CLI.

Procedure

Run the docker run command to use the container image that is published.
```

```
If you want a specific release of the image, use a specific version tag in the docker pull command :
```
