Run the installer

Run the installer from the download

If you are running the installer from the downloaded software:

  1. Log in as user root.

  2. To set the file mode creation mask, run this command:

    umask 022
  3. Navigate to and run the extracted file for your platform:

    • GUI mode: # ./Dimensions_<application>_<platform>.bin

    • CUI mode: # ./Dimensions_<application>_<platform>.bin-console

Run the installer from the DVD

If you are running the installer from the DVD:

  1. Run index.html on the mounted DVD or in the directory containing the copied contents of the DVD.

  2. In the If you are ready to install section, click Click here >> to access the Ready to install page.

  3. Copy the appropriate executable path name under Dimensions for UNIX. In a terminal window, paste the path name to run the executable, for example:

    dimensions_cm/dimensions _linux64/Dimensions_Server_Linux64.bin

    AIX64 installer binaries are stored in an archive located outside of the installer:

    Dimensions_Server_AIX64.bin 
    Dimensions_Server_AIX64.jar

    Copy these files, as both are required to run the installer.
