Using the bundle installation method

You can install XL C/C++ using the bundle installation method. The bundle fileset contains scripts to help install either the evaluation version or the licensed version of the compiler.

About this task

To install the compiler using the bundle installation method, take the following steps:

Procedure

As the root user, install the compiler bundle fileset xlCcmp.13.1.0.bundle, using the installp command. You can skip this step if you are upgrading from the evaluation version and the fileset is already installed on the system.
```
installp -aXd . xlCcmp.13.1.0.bundle
```
Enter the following command from the command line to start Smit easy mode:
```
# smitty easy_install
```
Enter the name of the installation device. It is the path in which the filesets can be found; for example, /usr/sys/inst.images. If the filesets are in your current directory, you can use "." as the input device.
```
* INPUT device / directory for software    [.]
```
From the selection screen, select the package that you need.
- If you are installing the evaluation version on AIX® V6.1 or V7.1, choose xlCcmp.13.1.0-evaluation.
- If you are installing or upgrading to the licensed version on AIX V6.1 or V7.1, choose xlCcmp.13.1.0-licensed.
Change the following values provided on the bundle screen as appropriate to your situation, and press Enter to continue.
- You can change the AUTOMATICALLY install requisite software? option to yes to install the compiler automatically.
- You can change the EXTEND file systems if space needed? option to yes to extend file systems.
- You must change the ACCEPT new license agreements? option to yes to accept new license agreements.
Scroll to the end of the installation output to check the installation summary. The output indicates whether the installation of your bundle has been successful. Exit using Esc+0.
Note: Using the bundle installation method prevents the installation tools from installing filesets that are not supported by your operating system. Therefore, no failures and error messages caused by unsupported filesets are generated as mentioned in Using SMIT and Using installp.
