Installation Modes

The Distributed Systems Installation Guide describes installing the UNIX and Linux products using Unicenter Software Delivery (USD). USD presents the installation dialogs in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode or a VT100 mode (character terminal interface).

In CA Gen Release 8.5, the character terminal interface installation uses the curses library that requires a terminal emulation that supports cursor addressing.

If you are using the Microsoft Telnet terminal emulator, you must add -t vt100 to enable the VT100 mode.

On some systems, the Microsoft Telnet in vt100 mode displays the characters l, m, k, and q instead of the graphic line drawing characters. When this happens, consider using another terminal emulator such as Putty in xterm mode.

The environment variable TERM must be set to the capabilities of the terminal or terminal emulator you are using so the line drawing characters display correctly.
