Installing in console mode

You can install IBM® SPSS® Modeler Adapter by using IBM Installation Manager in console mode.

Before you begin

Before you can install, Installation Manager must have access to the repository that contains the package. You must also shut down the application server and the IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services server before starting the installation.

Procedure

To install in console mode:

  1. Start Installation Manager in console mode by using imcl -c.

    The default imcl location varies depending on the operating system and installation type (administrator, nonadministrator, or group). For more information, see Getting started with Installation Manager.

  2. Enter 1: Install - Install software packages.
    Packages that can be installed are listed.

    If you have repositories that require credentials and you did not save the credentials, you are prompted to provide these credentials

  3. Enter 1: [ ] package_name.
    To select a package, enter the number that is next to the package. This example selects the first package listed. If the selected package requires a later version of Installation Manager, you are prompted to install the later version.
  4. On the Select screen, enter the number that is next to the package that you want to install.
    • 1: Choose version package_version for installation. This option shows when you chose a package that is not selected for installation.

      The 1: Do NOT install version package_version option shows when you chose a package that is selected for installation.

    • 2: Show all available versions of the package.
  5. Optional: Enter O: Check for Other Versions, Fixes, and Extensions. Installation Manager searches available repositories for other versions, fixes, or extensions of the selected package.
    • For Installation Manager to search the default repository for the installed packages, the Search service repositories during installation and updates preference must be selected. This preference is selected by default. To access this preference, go to the Repositories preference page.
    • Typically, Internet access is required.
    • The Check for Other Versions, Fixes, and Extensions option indicates the number of other versions, fixes, or extensions found but does not list the found items. To see available versions, enter the number that is next to the package then enter 2: Show all available versions of the package.
  6. Enter N: Next
  7. Options for the Licenses screen:
    • 1: product_name - License Agreement. To view a license agreement, enter the number that is next to the product name. This example selects the first license agreement listed.
    • A: [ ] I accept the terms in the license agreement.
    • D: [ ] I do not accept the terms in the license agreement. If you decline the license agreement, the installation is stopped. To continue the installation, you must accept the license agreement.
    1. Enter A to accept the license agreement.
    2. Enter N: Next.
  8. To enter a different value for the shared resources directory, enter M: Shared Resources Directory. To accept the default value for shared resources directory or to continue after you enter a different value, enter N: Next.
    Important: You can specify the shared resources directory only the first time that you install a package. Select the drive with enough available space to ensure adequate space for the shared resources of future packages. You cannot change the location of the shared resources directory unless you uninstall all packages.
  9. Optional: To enter a different value for the package group location, enter M: Change Location. To accept the default values or to continue after you enter a different value, enter N: Next.

    A package group is a directory that contains resources that packages share with other packages in the same group. The first time that you install a package, you must create a package group. If you select more than one package to install, verify that the packages can be installed in the same package group by checking the documentation for the packages. For packages that cannot be installed in the same package group, install one package in one package group. After the installation completes, install the second package in a different package group.

  10. Enter the number that is next to the language to add or remove the language from the list of languages that are installed. You can select only one language at a time. Enter N: Next.
    English is selected by default. You cannot clear the selection for the English language. Your language choices apply to all packages that are installed in the package group.
  11. Enter the number that is next to the feature to add or remove the feature from the list of features that are installed. Enter N: Next.
    This screen is not shown when your product does not have any features.
  12. On the Summary screen, review your selections before you install the package.

    Optional: To generate a response file, enter G: Generate an installation response file. Enter the name of the response file and use .xml as the file extension. Response files are XML files. You can include a directory location when you enter the response file name to save the file to a different location.

  13. Enter I: Install.
  14. When the installation completes, enter F: Finish.
