Overview

Two different methods are provided to install APPX on Linux/Unix. There is a GUI installer and a Console Mode (character mode) installer. The same installer is used for both methods. The installer will automatically detect if it is being run as a command or from a GUI Desktop, although in some cases you may have to add "-c" to the command line to force the character installer. Regardless of which installation method is used, the result is the same. A typical APPX installation on a system where APPX has not been previously installed performs the following steps:

Line: 17 to 17
 
    • Configure and start the APPX Login Manager service
    • Configure and start the APPX Audit Manager service
    • Install the license key

Special Note for AIX

If you are installing APPX on AIX, you will probably have to raise the data segment size via the 'ulimit' command. The symptom is that your APPX sessions crash with no warning, especially in processes that use tables.

To increase the limit:

bash-4.3# ulimit -d unlimited
bash-4.3# ulimit -a
core file size          (blocks, -c) 1048575
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
max memory size         (kbytes, -m) 32768
open files                      (-n) 2000
pipe size            (512 bytes, -p) 64
stack size              (kbytes, -s) 32768
cpu time               (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes              (-u) 262144
virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) unlimited

You can set this limit in the /etc/security/limits file so that it is set on every reboot. If you set it manually, you must restart the login service from the same shell so that it will inherit the new setting:

bash-4.3# stopsrc -s appx-8600
0513-044 The appx-8600 Subsystem was requested to stop.
bash-4.3# startsrc -s appx-8600
0513-059 The appx-8600 Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 315394.

#CharInstaller
 

Character Mode Installation

If you don't have access to a GUI, you can run the Appx installer in character mode by appending "-c" to the command line. After a few moments, the Appx Setup Wizard should display the Welcome message. Press Enter to continue the installation.
Line: 108 to 133

Set the ICU Locale

A locale identifies a specific user community - a group of users who have similar culture and language expectations for human-computer interaction (and the kinds of data they process).
