Preparing the Installer File for the Execution Container

To unpack the software, get the install.xml file:

  1. Create a directory to use when unpacking this release and future releases. For the purpose of these instructions, this designated directory is referred to as the staging directory.

    Note!

    The staging directory should not be the same directory as the one you created and set up as the MZ_HOME directory. The MZ_HOME directory still needs to be empty for the installation to succeed.

  2. Place the *.tgz file and the license file from your release delivery into the staging directory.

  3. Use a command line tool, go to the staging directory, and unpack the *.tgz file by running the following command:

    $ tar xvzf <filename>.tgz

    A directory with the software to be installed is then created in the staging directory. For the purpose of these instructions, this directory is referred to as the release content directory.

  4. Now copy the MZ license file into the release content directory.

    $ cp mz.license <release content directory>

  5. Enter the release content directory and prepare the install.xml file by running the following command:

    $ cd <release content directory>
    $ ./setup.sh prepare

    The *.mzp packages are now extracted into<release content directory>/internal/packages, and the install.xml is extracted into the release content directory.

  6. To extract the release content directory and the installation parameters:
