7. On the Utility Meter system, log on as root and use the swinstall command to install the Utility
Meter software from the downloaded depot file. In the following example, <path-to-depot> is
representative of the file name you downloaded. Execute the following (appropriate) command to install
the Utility Meter software:
• For PPU installations:

equal version number than already present in the HP-UX instance will not be installed.
