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.

Procedure

  1. Type, the following command to install the command line software.
    Where 9.x.x is relevant to the version that you want to install.

    $ rpm -ivh ~/IBM/Tivoli_Remote_Control/RCTarget/ibm-trc-cli-9.x.x.i386.rpm

  2. When the installation is complete, edit the /etc/ibmtrct.conf file and set your configuration.
    • Set the value of ServerURL to the host name or IP address of your BigFix® Remote Control Server.
    • For FIPS-compliance set the value of FIPSCompliance to Yes.
    • For NIST SP800-131a compliance, set the value of SP800131ACompliance to yes.
  3. Save the file.
