Installing with the GUI
Overview This section provides an overview of the swinstall GUI.
• In general, all information presented in “Installing from the
Command Line” on page 73 also applies to the swinstall GUI.
• This section also refers to additional information about standard
GUI elements, discussed in “Using the GUI and TUI Commands” on
page 35.
• All information in this section also applies to the TUI program unless
otherwise noted. See “The Terminal User Interface” on page 35 for
more information.
There are five steps in the GUI install process:
Step I: Start-Up To start the GUI or TUI for an install session, type:
/usr/sbin/swinstall
The GUI is automatically invoked unless you also specify software on the
command line. To invoke the GUI and specify software, include the -i
option. For example, to use the GUI for a preview (analysis only) session
with BUNDLE1, type:
swinstall -i -p /MyDepot/BUNDLE1
