Installing the eG CLI on Unix

To install the eG CLI on a Linux host, you will have to run a  setup script called iCLI_linux. To install the eG CLI on a Solaris host on the other hand, the setup script you should run is iCLI_solaris.

Note:

The script for installing the eG CLI on as Unix host requires super-user privileges for execution.

Upon running the script, the steps discussed below will follow:

1. The eG CLI on Unix should be installed and executed by a separate user. Provide the name of this eG user when prompted.

   This script will install the eG CLI.

   The eG CLI must be executed by a separate user. If you have

   already installed the eG manager/agent on this system, please

   use the same user account for the eG CLI installation.

   Enter the name of the eG user [egurkha]: egcli

2. Next, specify where the eG CLI should be installed - i.e., the install directory of the eG CLI.

   Enter the directory in which the eG CLI should be installed [/opt]: /opt

3. Then, enter the group to which the eG user belongs.

   Enter the group to which the eG user is to be associated [egurkha]: egurkha

4. Provide the password of the eG user that you just created.

   The installer will now install the eG CLI...

   Press <Enter> to continue, or <CTRL-C> to stop the installation

    

   Creating user egcli belonging to group egurkha ...

   useradd: warning: the home directory already exists.

   Not copying any file from skel directory into it.

5. Once the installation ends, a message indicating whether/not the CLI installation was successful will appear.
