IBM Installation Manager — Install IBM Installation Manager on Linux using the installc or userinstc command
Installation methods
There are 3 methods that can be used to install Installation Manager:
- install Installation Manager using the installc or userinstc command (this article)
- install Installation Manager using the imcl install command
- install Installation Manager using the imcl input command
This article describes the process on how to install Installation Manager using the installc or userinstc command.
Download Installation Manager from IBM Fix Central. Let’s say that agent.installer.linux.gtk.x86_64_1.8.5000.20160506_1125.zip is downloaded. Make a directory for Installation Manager.
Use the unzip command to unzip the package. The -d /opt/IM option is used to unzip the package to the /opt/IM directory.
AVOID TROUBLE
Do NOT remove the files and directories below /opt/IM (or whatever directory you extracted the zip file to) as these files and directories would be needed for a clean uninstall of Installation Manager.
unzip agent.installer.linux.gtk.x86_64_1.8.5000.20160506_1125.zip -d /opt/IM
Install as root (installc)
Use the installc command to install Installation Manager using the root user account. In this example, Installation Manager is installed at /opt/IBM/InstallationManager.
/opt/IM/installc -acceptLicense -showProgress
Install as non-root user (userinstc)
Use the userinstc command to install Installation Manager as non-root user. In this example, Installation Manager is installed by john.doe at /opt/IBM/InstallationManager.
/opt/IM/userinstc -acceptLicense -showProgress
Specify installation directory
By default, Installation Manager will be installed in the /opt/IBM/InstallationManager directory. The -installationDirectory option can be used to define some other directory. In this example, Installation Manager will be installed in the /opt/InstallationManager directory.
IMPORTANT
The -installationDirectory must immediately follow the installc or userinstc command. If the -installationDirectory does not immediately follow the installc or userinstc command, the -installationDirectory option will be ignored, and Installation Manager will be installed to the default location of /opt/IBM/InstallationManager.
If using the installc command, there is no need to ensure the target directory exists and has certain permissions. You can simply just issue the installc command with the -installationDirectory option, and the target directory will be created if it does not already exist.
/opt/IM/installc -installationDirectory /opt/InstallationManager -acceptLicense -showProgress
If using the userinstc command, you will need to ensure the directory exists and that has the write permission for members of the other group (e.g. drwxrwxrwx). The mkdir and chmod commands can be used to create the directory and update the permissions.
mkdir /opt/InstallationManager chmod o+w /opt/InstallationManager
Now, you can issue the userinstc command with the -installationDirectory option.
/opt/IM/userinstc -installationDirectory /opt/InstallationManager -acceptLicense -showProgress
The following command can be used to verify that Installation Manager was installed.

ITM Agent Insights: Installing IBM Installation Manager on Linux
The following post will help you install the IBM Installation Manager (IIM) on a Linux server. IIM is widely used to install components of the Jazz for Service Management (JazzSM) package. This post will only cover a plain vanilla install of the IIM product which can later be used to install any JazzSM services. The write up assumes you have the root privileges on the server and are able to create an admin user for the install. In this example I have installed IIM version 1.8.7.0
- First create a admin account via. command line on the server.
- For example IIM will be used for JazzSM which will be used for IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM) OS Agent reports or any other reports package. You can name it smadmin
- Here is the what you will need to do in the command line interface before installing IIM
- First make sure you are the root user. To do so execute su — root
- groupadd smadmin
- useradd –c “Jazz User” –g smadmin itmuser
- passwd itmuser
- ** now this is where you create a password for the account in this example itmpasswd is used
- Next create directory for the install
- mkdir –p /opt/IBM/itm
- cd /opt
- chown –R itmuser:smadmin IBM
- Now log in as the itmuser. To do so type su – itmuser
- cd /opt/IBM/itm
- mkdir IM
- cd IM
- mkdir –p InstallManager/eclipse
- mkdir IBMIMData
- mkdir IBMIMShared
- cd ..
- mkdir core NcKL
- mkdir IIMinstall
- cd IIMinstall
- mv /home/ibmadmin/DownloadDirector/agent.installer.linux.gtk.x86_64_1.8.7000.20170706_2137.zip .
- if it says permission denied make sure you make yourself the root user again then go back and do move it again
- chmod 777 /opt/IBM/itm/IM/InstallationManager
- chmod –R g+rwx /opt/IBM/itm/IM/InstallationManager/eclipse/configuration
- chgrp -R itmadmin /opt/IBM/itm/IM/InstallationManager/eclipse/configuration
These steps will enable you to complete the IIM installation on a Linux server. This can be later used to install the JazzSM services or any other product set you desire to install using IIM.

Installation methods
There are 3 methods that can be used to install Installation Manager:
This article describes the process on how to install Installation Manager using the imcl install command.
Download Installation Manager from IBM Fix Central. Let’s say that agent.installer.linux.gtk.x86_64_1.8.5000.20160506_1125.zip is downloaded. Make a directory for Installation Manager.

unzip agent.installer.linux.gtk.x86_64_1.8.5000.20160506_1125.zip -d /opt/IM
Use the imcl (Installation Manager command line) command to install Installation Manager.
/opt/IM/tools/imcl install com.ibm.cic.agent -repositories /opt/IM -acceptLicense -showProgress
The following should be displayed.
Installed com.ibm.cic.agent_ to the /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse directory.
Install as non-root user
If you will be using Installation Manager as a non-root user, include the -accessRights nonAdmin option.
/opt/IM/tools/imcl install com.ibm.cic.agent -repositories /opt/IM -acceptLicense -showProgress -accessRights nonAdmin
Specify installation directory
By default, Installation Manager will be installed in the /opt/IBM/InstallationManager directory. The -installationDirectory option can be used to define some other directory. In this example, Installation Manager will be installed in the /opt/InstallationManager directory.
IMPORTANT
The -installationDirectory must immediately follow the install com.ibm.cic.agent command. If the -installationDirectory does not immediately follow the install com.ibm.cic.agent command, the -installationDirectory option will be ignored, and Installation Manager will be installed to the default location of /opt/IBM/InstallationManager.
If installing Installation Manager as root, there is no need to ensure the target directory exists and has certain permissions. You can simply just issue the install command with the -installationDirectory option, and the target directory will be created if it does not already exist.
/opt/IM/tools/imcl install com.ibm.cic.agent -repositories /opt/IM -acceptLicense -showProgress -installationDirectory /opt/InstallationManager
If installing Installation Manager as a non-root user, you will need to ensure the directory exists and that has the write permission for members of the other group (e.g. drwxrwxrwx). The mkdir and chmod commands can be used to create the directory and update the permissions.
mkdir /opt/InstallationManager chmod o+w /opt/InstallationManager
Now, you can install Installation Manager with the -installationDirectory and -accessRight options.
/opt/IM/tools/imcl install com.ibm.cic.agent -repositories /opt/IM -installationDirectory /opt/InstallationManager -accesRights nonAdmin -acceptLicense -showProgress
The following command can be used to verify that Installation Manager was installed.
/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl listInstalledPackages . . . com.ibm.cic.agent_version
