Preparing Your Workstation for Installation

Before you can successfully run the install script from the SPMA
CD-ROM, there are several parameters you must set for your
workstation. You must run the install as root; therefore, if display
parameters have not been set for root, you may need to set the
display environment variable to the hostname of your workstation.
You may also need to give root permission to display the install
windows by using the

xhost

command. These and other steps

necessary to execute before installing from a local or remote CD-ROM
drive are described below.
