Installing a Package

This topic provides information on the install command.

Syntax

Command for installing a package:

apm install <package name> -pw <password>

Alternatively, you can install the package from downloaded file:

apm install --from-file <path to the package archive or directory> -pw <password> -u user/department

If you want to avoid installing dependent packages, set the flag to ignore package dependencies.

The password is never read from login_dat.xml. You must use the parameter -pw <password>.

Multiple packages can be installed by leaving a blank space between the names.

Example

Example for installing a package:

apm install PCK.AUTOMIC_TOMCAT -pw aepwd

apm install --from-file C:\Package.Bond_PCK.AUTOMIC_BOND_1_0_0+build.164.zip -pw aepwd -u ADM/ADMINISTRATORS

Example for installing multiple packages:

apm install PCK.AUTOMIC_HTTP PCK.AUTOMIC_FTP -H automicdev -S AUTOMIC -p 1234 -c 123 -u AUTOMIC/AUTOMIC -pw aepwd

Be aware that the installation of a Package may be restricted to a reduced number of clients. You can use the option "-c <number>" to change the target client of the installation or enter the following command to bypass the client check: --ignore-client-restriction.
