Packager Installation on a Computer that has no DVD Drive

Symptom:

I want to install the Packager for Linux and UNIX on a computer that has no DVD drive. How must I proceed?

Solution:

If you want to install either the Packager for Linux and UNIX or the Command Line Interface (required to register a package from Linux or UNIX to a manager on Windows), you must download the Packager directory structure (using FTP or SFTP, for example). Then run install-sm-packager.sh from the directory on the Linux computer that contains the whole downloaded Packager directory.
