Launch the OKM Installer

For Windows:
Double-click the shortcut to start the installer program.

For Solaris:

  1. Set your DISPLAY environment to identify the system to which this installer should be displayed.

    • If you start the installer program on the local Solaris system, set your DISPLAY environment variable to ":0.0."

    • Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the installer.

  2. Invoke the installer.

    For example, if you downloaded the installer to the /tmp directory, and you plan to invoke it on your local Solaris system, you start the installer by entering the following commands at a shell prompt:

    DISPLAY=:0.0
export DISPLAY
cd /tmp
ls OKMManager_solaris_3_3_2.bin
sh ./OKMManager_solaris_3_3_2.bin

    Note:

    If you invoke the installer on one Solaris system and want it to be displayed on another Solaris system, set your DISPLAY environment variable to identify the system on which it should be displayed.

    On the display system, first run the xhost(1) utility to allow access from the system from which you invoke the installer.

    For example, on the system (named "hosta") where you wish to display the installer, enter:

    xhost +

    On the system where you start the installer, enter:

    ping hosta
DISPLAY=hosta:0.0 
export DISPLAY 
cd /tmp 
ls OKMManager_solaris_3_3_2.bin 
sh ./OKMManager_solaris_3_3_2.bin
