Hello,
I would install python under this directory /python/program
I can indicate to swinstall to change the install directory?

Thanks

I don't think so, but in practice it is trivial to just install then move the install directory to / .

Hi

Use the swinstall tui. Select your product 'm'
goto actions and change target, then specify your directory. The software may have been packaged with a specific install directory

ie

package to be installed in /usr/contrib/bin

if you select

/opt

You will get installed in

/opt/usr/contrib/bin

Thanks,
I try to log on the server like prova user and I execute swinstall -s /python .
I choose like targhet directory /home/prova but I recived this message:

"server:/home/prova": You do not have the required permissions xqqqx

What I do?

Thanks Filo

Hi

Are you trying to install to a remote server ?

If so I would perform this action the other way.

First register the depot

swreg -l depot /dir/containing/software

Login to the remote server

swinstall

Specify the source hostname and path of software

In addition to the above answer.

I think you are not logging as root. You need to be root to swinstall applications.

Hope I understood your question correctly.
