Install the Client Components

Installing the client allows a product client to execute scripts and common processes from a Mac shell.

Follow these steps:

  1. Download the client.tar from ftp site to /Users/currentuser/Downloads.
  2. Create a folder/directory for the CA Harvest SCM install.
  3. Copy the client installation files to any directory where you want to install the client, and enter the following command using the Terminal utility:

    Note: Verify that you enter the space and period at the end of the command; they represent the current directory.

    For example:

    -cp /Users/currentuser/downloads/client.tar /Users/currentuser/CA/scm .
    

    Alternatively, you can move or copy client.tar to the installation location using Mac Finder.

  4. To extract the CA Harvest SCM client binaries, enter the following commands:
    tar xvf client.tar
    

    Alternatively, you can extract all files in client.tar using the default Archive utility.

  5. Change to the product installation directory. For example, if you are using the default product installation directory, enter the following command:
    -cd /Users/cascm/CA/scm/install
    
  6. Run the setup.sh script. This script sets up the file structure necessary for executing the command-line utilities.
    ./setup.sh
    

    The End User License Agreement (EULA) appears.

  7. Read and accept the EULA, and then the Third Party Software Acknowledgments. Press Enter.

    The installation continues with the command-line utilities installation. The installation program creates the files and exits. The results of the installation are as follows:

  8. (Optional) Double-click the workbench executable from the bin folder of the CA Harvest SCM install directory to launch the CA Harvest SCM workbench.
