Use this procedure to extract and install download images
from the Rational® Synergy
website. If you are loading the software from media, skip this topic.
Procedure
- Create a temporary
directory on a file system with at least 750 MB of disk space. This
space is in addition to the space required for the installed software
as documented.
mkdir /tmp/synergy_image
- On the Rational Synergy support site,
find the Rational Synergy
downloads page. You see a single file for each platform. Each file
is a gzipped tar archive of the Rational Synergy
installation image for that platform. Download the file or files that
you need into your temporary directory.
Extract the installation image:
cd /tmp/synergy_image
cat download.tar.gz | gzip -d | tar xf -
- Proceed with the
installation as directed in Installing the software, as if the temporary directory was your DVD
mount point. Add any other flags required by the installation or upgrade
procedure you are following.
/tmp/synergy_image/ccm/unix/bin/ccm_install -x -d
ccm_home
- After installation
is complete, remove the temporary directory and its contents.
rm -rf /tmp/synergy_image
