Run a GUI Mode Installation on UNIX
To install an Agent, you must be logged into the account where the web server is installed.
Note: If you are upgrading an existing r12 Web Agent to r12 SP1, you must login as the root user. If you are installing a new r12 SP1 Web Agent, root privileges are not required.
To run a GUI mode installation on UNIX:
- Consider the following before you begin:
- Exit all applications that are running.
- Ensure that the /tmp directory has at least 300MB of disk space available.
- Download the installation file from Technical Support.
- Navigate to the directory for your operating system.
- Copy the appropriate binary file to a local directory then navigate to that directory.
Note: The binary files use the following naming conventions:
- ca-wa-version-operating_system.bin (for most versions)
- ca-wa-version-operating_system-processor-architecture.bin (for versions requiring a specific processor or architecture type)
- Depending on your permissions, you may need to add executable permissions to the installation file by running the chmod command, for example:
chmod +x ca-wa-version-operating_system-processor-architecture.bin
- Open a console window and from the local installation directory enter:
./ca-wa-version-operating_system-processor-architecture.bin
The installation program prepares the files.
- In the Introduction dialog box, read the information then click Next.
- Read the License Agreement then select the radio button to accept the agreement. Click Next.
If you do not accept the agreement, the installation terminates.
- Read the notes in the Important Information dialog box, then click Next.
- In the Choose Install Location dialog box, accept the default location or use the Choose button to select a different location. Click Next.
If you select a non-default location then want to revert to the default directory, click Restore Default Folder.
- Review the information in the Pre-Installation Summary dialog box, then click Install.
The Web Agent files are installed in the specified location.
- In the Install Complete dialog box, click Done.
- After installing the Agent, run the Agent Configuration Wizard to register a trusted host and configure the Web Agent.
