Installing the CLI tools in Linux™
You can install the CLI tools on a Linux™ computer by using the RPM file that is provided in the BigFix® Remote Control installation files.
Before you begin
Note: The target, CLI, gateway, and broker component
installation packages depend on the 32-bit version of the following libraries. For all components,
glibc and libblkid. Also, for the target component,
libgcc, libXmu, libXtst,
libXp, libXi, libXScrnSaver, and
libXinerama. Therefore, you must ensure that the libraries are installed.
Use the
ibm-trc-cli-9.x.x.i386.rpm file to install the CLI tools in
Linux™. Where 9.x.x is relevant to the
version that you want to install. For more
information about obtaining the Linux™ component installation
files, see Install the BigFix Remote Control components. Choose the appropriate method for obtaining the
file. About this task
Note: If the ibm-trc-target RPM file
is installed, you do not need to install the ibm-trc-cli RPM
file because the CLI commands are already included in the target.
For more information about using the commands, see the BigFix® Remote Control Controller User's
Guide.
