• Windows 2008 Server, including SP1, SP2
• Windows 2008 Server x64 Edition, including SP1, SP2
• Windows Vista Business, including SP1, SP2

• Solaris SPARC 9, 10
• Redhat Enterprise Linux 5, 6.1
• SuSE Enterprise Linux 10

Note:

      Prior to installation, ensure you have updated your operating system with all required and recommended patches.

      For Redhat Enterprise Linux 64-bit system, the 32-bit compatibility libraries should be installed prior to the start of the CLI installation.

      To include the 32 bit compatibility libraries, the "Compatibility Libraries" should be added during the software customization in the system installation.

      If those 32 bit libraries were not included, they can be installed by manually installing the 32 bit rpm packages glibc, libXext and libXtst and their dependant packages. An example to do so is:

      #rpm -Uvh libXau-1.0.5-1.el6.i686.rpm libxcb-1.5-1.el6.i686.rpm libX11-1.3-2.el6.i686.rpm nss-softokn-freebl-3.12.9-3.el6.i686.rpm glibc-2.12-1.25.el6.i686.rpm libXi-1.3-3.el6.i686.rpm

System Requirements

InForm CLI requires the following:

• 1.0 gigahertz processor or higher
• 1 GB of installed RAM (2 GB recommended)
• CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive (if installing from a CD-ROM)
• 1024 x 768 or better screen resolution
• Mouse or compatible pointing device

Disk Space Requirements

The table below lists the disk space requirements for the InForm CLI installation. 

Note:  The installer creates temporary files during installation so the actual hard disk space required at that time is greater than the values listed.

Operating System	Disk Space Required
Linux	130 MB
Solaris	130 MB
Windows	100 MB

Installation Instructions

Use the following instructions to install new software or to upgrade from a previous version. 

Note:  Before starting installation, shut down all active InForm CLI sessions and disable any virus-checking software.

To Install the InForm CLI on Windows

1. Insert the CD-ROM.
2. On Windows platforms, installation should start automatically once you insert the CD-ROM.  If the installation does not start automatically,
1. Open your CD-ROM drive in Windows Explorer.
2. Double-click the file <D>:\cli\windows\setup.exe, where <D> is the letter associated with your CD-ROM drive.
3. Complete the installation by following the on-screen directions.

To Install the InForm CLI on Solaris

1. Bring up a terminal window and log in as root.
2. Insert the CD-ROM.
3. Run the command: /cdrom/cli/solaris/setup.bin.
4. Complete the installation by following the on-screen directions.

To Install the InForm CLI on Linux

1. Bring up a terminal window and log in as root.
2. Insert the CD-ROM.
3. Run the command: /media/cli/linux/setup.bin.
4. Complete the installation by following the on-screen directions.

Note:  The installation can fail on Linux if the automounter mounts the CD-ROM with insufficient permissions. In this case you will see an error similar to the following:

bash: /media/cli/linux/setup.bin: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

If this occurs, the workaround is to copy the installation setup file to a temporary location on your system and run the installation from that location rather than from the CD-ROM.  Use the steps below as an example.

# cd /media/cli/linux
# cp setup.bin /tmp
# chmod +x /tmp/setup.bin
# /tmp/setup.bin

Once the installation is complete, remove the setup.bin file from the location you copied to.

# rm /tmp/setup.bin
