Installing SPSS Modeler

Information you need to complete this task

Review the following information before you install SPSS Modeler:

Version requirements

All of the components that are associated with an instance of IBM Software Hub must be installed at the same release. For example, if the IBM Software Hub control plane is installed at Version 5.2.2, you must install SPSS Modeler at Version 5.2.2.

Environment variables

The commands in this task use environment variables so that you can run the commands exactly as written.

• If you don't have the script that defines the environment variables, see Setting up installation environment variables.
• To use the environment variables from the script, you must source the environment variables before you run the commands in this task. For example, run:

  source ./cpd_vars.sh

Security context constraint

SPSS Modeler works with the default Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform security context constraint, restricted-v2.

Storage requirements

You don't need to specify storage information when you install SPSS Modeler.

Before you begin

Workstation

This task assumes that the workstation from which you will run the installation is set up as a client workstation and has the following command-line interfaces:

• IBM Software Hub CLI: cpd-cli
• OpenShift CLI: oc

Where to find more information
If this task is not complete, see Setting up a client workstation.

Control plane

This task assumes that the IBM Software Hub control plane is installed.

Where to find more information
If this task is not complete, see Installing an instance of IBM Software Hub.

Private container registry

If your environment uses a private container registry (for example, your cluster is air-gapped), this task assumes that the following tasks are complete:

1. The SPSS Modeler software images are mirrored to the private container registry.

   Where to find more information
   If this task is not complete, see Mirroring images to a private container registry.

2. The cpd-cli is configured to pull the olm-utils-v3 image from the private container registry.

Prerequisite services

Before you install SPSS Modeler, ensure that the following services are installed and running:

• Watson Studio

Procedure

Complete the following tasks to install SPSS Modeler:

1. Installing the service
2. Validating the installation
3. What to do next

Installing the service

To install SPSS Modeler:

1. Log the cpd-cli in to the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster:

   ${CPDM_OC_LOGIN}

   Remember: CPDM_OC_LOGIN is an alias for the cpd-cli manage login-to-ocp command.
2. Run the following command to create the required OLM objects for SPSS Modeler in the operators project for the instance:

   cpd-cli manage apply-olm \
   --release=${VERSION} \
   --cpd_operator_ns=${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERATORS} \
   --components=spss

   Wait for the cpd-cli to return the following message before you proceed to the next step:

   [SUCCESS]... The apply-olm command ran successfully

   If the apply-olm fails, see Troubleshooting the apply-olm command during installation or upgrade.

3. Create the custom resource for SPSS Modeler.

   cpd-cli manage apply-cr \
   --components=spss \
   --release=${VERSION} \
   --cpd_instance_ns=${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERANDS} \
   --license_acceptance=true

Validating the installation

[SUCCESS]... The apply-cr command ran successfully

If you want to confirm that the custom resource status is Completed, you can run the cpd-cli manage get-cr-status command:

cpd-cli manage get-cr-status \
--cpd_instance_ns=${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERANDS} \
--components=spss
