<install> Step

The <install> step installs a component onto the target host. This causes the steps of the named <installSteps> element of the associated component to be executed. This step can only appear as the child of the <simpleSteps> element.

The <install> step has the following child elements:

• <argList> – An optional element that is a list of arguments to pass to the <installSteps> block. If specified, this element can only appear one time. See <argList> Element.

• <Repository component targeter> – A required element that identifies the component to install. See Repository Component Targeters.

• <assign> — An optional element that specifies the name of the local variable to assign the value returned by the called block. The syntax and behavior of the <assign> child element is the same as that of the <assign> Step.

Attributes for the <install> Step

The <install> step has one required attribute of type entityName, blockName, which is the name of the install block to execute within the target component.
