Installation of Client Automation Using the Command Line in Linux or UNIX

You install Client Automation on Linux or UNIX using the installdsm script, which is in the distribution directory under LinuxProductFiles_x86/component.

Note: CADSMCMD is provided for Linux only and not other UNIX derivatives. For more information, see the CLI Reference Guide.

For convenience and for consistency with the Windows installation, there is a script file called setup.sh in the root directory of the installation DVD. That script calls /LinuxProductFiles_x86/manager/installdsm.

By default, the installer for Linux and UNIX runs in an interactive mode. If Client Automation is already installed on the system, the installer will give the option to Upgrade/Repair, Modify, or Uninstall.

The installation media also contains a template response file, install.rsp. This file can be used to create unattended installations.
