To download the files
Create a directory in which to place the downloaded files.
Note
On Windows computers, ensure that the directory is only one level into the directory structure. The EPD package creates a directory in the temporary directory when you extract the files, and the directory that contains the installation image should not be in a directory deeper than two levels into the directory structure.
Go to the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management 4.6.00 download page (4.6.00 download page).
At the logon prompt, enter your user ID and password, and click Sign In.
On the Export Compliance and Access Terms page, provide the required information, agree to the terms of the agreements, and click Continue.
On the Product or Patches tab, select the files that you want to download for the applicable version.
Click Download (FTP).
The selected items are placed in an FTP directory, and the credentials and FTP instructions are sent to you in an e-mail message.
Tip
You can also click on a download file and be prompted to save it.
To extract the files on Windows
- Create a folder named CLMInstaller.
Right-click bmcclm<version>windows.part1.zip, (for example, bmcclm46.windows.part1.zip), and select Extract All.
- Select the CLMInstaller folder.
Extract the rest of the zip files into the CLMInstaller folder.
For BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management 4.6.00.001, ensure that you must first apply 4.6.00 before installing or upgrading to BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management 4.6.00.001. For more information, see the readme.txt in the 4.6.00.001 patch.
Open the Applications folder and verify its contents.
Note
For version 4.6, the installer upgrades BMC Server Automation in two stages. For this reason, the Applications folder includes the BMC Server Automation 8.6.01 installers used for version 4.5 as well.
To extract the files on Linux
- Create a directory named /CLMInstaller on the computer where you plan to run the installer.
- Copy the tar files to that directory.
Run the following command for each of the tar files:
tar xvzf bmcclm<version>.linux.part1.tar.gz
After extracting all the files, grant the correct permissions to the directory:
chmod -R 755 CLMInstaller
