Installing BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management on Linux

Because the BMC ProactiveNet Performance Manager product is not available on Linux, the procedure for installing the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution differs slightly. To install the solution in a Linux environment, install BMC ProactiveNet Performance Manager components on Windows and all other products on Linux.

To install BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management on Linux

1. Navigate to the installation directory on the CD or download the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution.
2. Open the Planner folder.
3. Open the Linux folder.
4. Open the Disk 1 folder.

5. Launch the installer using XManager (recommended).
    With Xmanager, X applications installed on remote UNIX based machines run seamlessly with Windows application side by side.
