Installing InfoPrint Manager server software and features locally with the Installer

    Note:
  • Before installing InfoPrint Manager, use install -h to see all available flags supported by the installer.

For greater flexibility, the InfoPrint Manager Installer does not create the file systems for /var/pd, /var/psf, and /var/psf/segments anymore. If a file system is found in the above locations, it will be used as is. Otherwise, a directory is created for each of the above locations. To create a file system for each of the above locations, use the allocfs.sh script from the root directory of your installation media.

The InfoPrint Manager Installer installs all the required dependencies (rpm packages) automatically. Make sure that dnf (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) or zypper (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server) can access the operating system repository before starting the InfoPrint Manager installation.
