Start the SDK installation

This topic describes how to install the SDK. The cellsdk script is a wrapper around YUM. Install the SDK by following these steps:

  1. Use the cellsdk script to install the SDK.
    • If you installing from an ISO image, type:
      # cd /opt/cell
      # ./cellsdk --iso /tmp/cellsdkiso install
    • If you are installing from a local server (see Setting up a YUM server for the SDK) type:
      # cd /opt/cell
      # ./cellsdk install
    • If you are installing from a physical CD, load the CD and mount it on the /media directory. Now type:
      # cd  /opt/cell
      # ./cellsdk install
    Note: You can pass the --gui flag to cellsdk to install the SDK using a GUI. See Installing the SDK using the Pirut GUI.
  2. Read the SDK licenses.

    There are several licenses that you must agree to. First are the GPL and LGPL licenses. Answer 'yes' to the license question if you agree to the license terms. The second is either the International Program License Agreement (IPLA) or International License Agreement for Non-Warranted Programs (ILAN). Follow the on-screen menu to agree to the license. This IBM® license is installed into the /opt/cell/license file for later reference. If you downloaded the Extras ISO into the ISO directory, then you will also be presented with the International License Agreement for Early Release of Programs (ILAER). Again, follow the on-screen menu to agree to the license.

  3. After you agree to both licenses, YUM will install the RPM files. Answer 'y' to the package install question from YUM.

See cellsdk script SDK installation example for an example of installing the SDK.
