2.3 Installation IBM Installation Manager

IBM Installation Manager is a single installation program that uses remote or local software repositories to install, modify, or update certain IBM products. Use this program to install, update, modify, roll back, and uninstall packages on your computer.

• Before you install Installation Manager on your target machines, you must consider what mode you will use to deploy packages. The mode that you choose determines how you install the software. There are three modes: administrator, non-administrator, and group. The primary difference between these modes is which users can launch Installation Manager.
  - Administrator mode: Installation Manager can only be installed once per machine. This mode is required for packages that require administrator or root privileges to be deployed. Also, the user who launches Installation Manager must be a member of the “Administrators” group on Windows or have root privileges on UNIX, Linux, IBM i, IBM z/OS®, and OS X operating systems.
  - Non-administrator mode: Installation Manager can be installed once per user. This mode is useful when users have their own copy of an application. Those copies are managed separately by the respective user accounts. However, in this mode, packages that require administrator access cannot be installed.
  - Group mode: Use this mode when you use multiple user accounts to manage the installed applications. In group mode, a group of users share packages. This mode is only available on Linux, UNIX, IBM z/OS, and OS X platforms. It is not available on Windows or IBM i. Packages must be enabled for group mode. Check the documentation for your package to determine whether the package is enabled for group mode.
