Running the DPK Setup Script as a Non-Root User on Linux

After the root user completes the prerequisite, start a terminal session as a non-root user and run the DPK setup script with the appropriate options. The following items are specific to the process when run by a non-root user.

See Reviewing the DPK Setup Script Options.

  • The DPK setup script includes a prompt for PS_CFG_HOME.

    The script validates whether the specified PS_CFG_HOME location is writable and has 10 GB free space.

  • More than one non-root user can run the DPK setup script from the same DPK_INSTALL/setup.

  • The non-root user must have permission to read and execute the DPK_INSTALL folder and its contents, including the downloaded zip files, and DPK_INSTALL/setup.

    If the root user downloads the DPK zip files and saves them in DPK_INSTALL, the root user must ensure that the necessary permissions are granted to allow the non-root user to read and execute the files.

  • The DPK setup log is written to the file <USER_HOME>/psft_dpk_work/psft_dpk_setup_<PID>.log, where <USER_HOME> is the home directory for the user running the script, and <PID> is a process ID.
