Download the installation kit, agent.installer.platform _version.zip

Once this hefty ZIP file downloads to your PC, unzip and we need to upload this entire folder to our IBM i System. 

upload ibm installation manager to ibm i

In my example I uploaded it to my home folder and called it /home/ibm-installation-manager

upload ibm installation manager to ibm i folder

Now it's time to go and make a nice cup of tea while it all uploads:

ibm installation manager to ibm i uploading

Upload completed - now we can proceed to install

Start the Qshell command environment.

In the Qshell command environment, set umask to 022.

set umask 022

Change to the folder that you just uploaded the installer to:

cd /home/ibm-installation-manager

Now lets run the silent installer from the QSHELL command line:

installc -log log_file -acceptLicense

Now... sit back for a minute and wait for the INSTALL COMPLETED message
