Create a non-root user

If you do not have a non-root user defined on your system, you must create one. To create this user, log in as a root user and run the command:

useradd -m -d /home/<username> <username>

where -m creates a home directory for your user if one does not exist, -d is the path to the home directory, and <username> is the user name that you want to create.

Ensure that you have the necessary access rights so that you can add files to the location where you want to install IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis.
