Installation instructions for Notes for Linux

In order to be able to use Notes for Linux it is necessary to install the framework of IBM's Workplace

Managed Client. These components are supplied as part of Notes for Linux, but as a separate image.

The following sections provide details of the components supplied, and how to use them to install

Notes for Linux.

personality.zip

This .zip file contains the installation framework for IBM's Workplace Managed Client. It contains all

the necessary components to install the framework, as well as the Notes installation package. This file

may be unzipped to either a local drive or to a Linux file server. It contains an updateSite directory that

contains all the Workplace features and plug-ins needed by Notes. It also contains a deploy directory

that controls the provisioning of the features in the updateSite.

setuplinux.bin

This file contains the Notes components to enable Notes for Linux. It is a self-contained installation

file, but is recommended to be installed using the deploy directory provided within

personality.zip. To do this, refer to the instructions below to place the file in the appropriate

directory.

The Lotus Notes Install pre-requisites steps

1 - Login as a non-root user.

2 - Unzip the file personality.zip as non-root user into a directory such as "plugin" in a user's home

directory or other working directory. This could be a network-mounted directory if you want many

machines to be able to install from one updateSite.

#unzip Personality.zip –d plugin

3 - Place the setuplinux.bin file in the correct directory, removing any existing one.

#cd plugin/updateSite/features//com.ibm.workplace.notesinstall.linux.feature_7.0.1.0000-

0900/bin/linux/

#rm setuplinux.bin

Copy the new setuplinux.bin file inside the above directory.

4 - Choose the location for the Workplace Components.

The default location for these components is /opt/IBM. To use this location, ensure the permissions

are set to 777 for the "IBM" directory. If this is not desired, please choose a location that is writeable,

such as within the user's home directory.

setup_wct_platform.bin

5 - Start the installation process, first ensuring that the setup_wct_platform .bin has execute

permissions, by using the chmod command.

#cd plugin

#chmod 777 setup_wct_platform .bin

#./ setup_wct_platform .bin

6 - The Lotus Notes Installation process:

- Select Next on the Welcome screen

- The Software License window comes up, Select "I accept both the IBM and the non -IBM terms".

- The Installation window with the Workplace Managed Client directory comes up; make sure to

chose a location that the user has write permission to.

- Choose the defaults and Click Next, or choose another writeable directory and Click Next

- Click Next to start the installation on the window confirming that the Lotus Notes Plug-in will be

installed.

Once the installation is done, a window appears saying that the files have successfully installed.

Click Next to start the Workplace Managed Client setup.

- You will then see the provisioning system provision the features and plug-ins needed for Notes.

- When it provisions the feature containing the Notes installer, you will be presented with the license

agreement for Notes. Select "I accept the terms of the license agreement " and Click Next.

- Once you click Next, the Notes Plug-in starts installing.

- Once the installer is finished, the wizard will require you to logout and log back in to get the Notes

environment variables set.

- Click Finish, and Click Finish again.

- Log out from the User session and log back in as the user you just installed Notes under.

- When you log back in you should have an "IBM Lotus Notes" icon on your desktop; double click the

icon.

- The Notes personality of the Workplace Managed Client will start using the Notes for Linux plug-in.

Notes setup will start, with dialogs asking for your Notes user information. Once you configure Notes

with the appropriate information, you are able to use Notes on Linux.
