Using installp

To install the compiler and write the installation output to a log file using the installp command, follow these steps:

Run the command:

installp -aXYgd install_images_location -e logfile fileset_names

>>- ---installp-- -aYg--+-----+--+-----+--+------------------------------+--+--------------+--fileset_names-><
                        '- -p-'  '- -X-'  '- -d--install_images_location-'  '- -e--logfile-'                  

-aYg

Specifies that all the latest installable filesets available in the install_images_location directory are applied and that the required software license agreement is accepted.

-p

Performs a preview of the installation process by running the preinstallation checks. See previewing the installation.

-X

Attempts to expand the file system at the default location if there is insufficient space to complete the install.

-d install_images_location

Specifies the directory where the filesets are located. This path may also be a mounted CD-ROM drive.

-e logfile

Specifies the name and location of the installation log file.

fileset_names

Specifies a list of names of the filesets in install_images_location that you want to install.

Note: The keyword all can be used to indicate that all filesets should be attempted during installation.

The following example installs all available compiler filesets in the /cdrom/usr/sys/inst.images source directory to the default locations, as specified in Filesets, and writes an installation log file to /tmp/install.log.

Example:

installp -aXYgd /cdrom/usr/sys/inst.images -e /tmp/install.log all
