Installing the Package Manager, Plugin Manager and Initial Action Packs

You can Install the Initial Action Packs with either the Package Manager or the Plugin Manager.

Note: You can find the initial package in the downloaded product zip file.

To install the initial Action Packs

1. Go to the Administration perspective and click the Packs accordion tab in the sidebar.
2. Click Install Pack. The Install Pack window opens.
3. Click and browse to the location where you have downloaded the Pack.
4. Select the Pack that you want to install and click Next.
5. Click Install.

Note: Alternatively, you can install the Action Packs by using the Windows command line or the UNIX shell:

• Install the preliminary package from file, as you have already downloaded it with the CDA package:

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

  Note: Do not ignore package dependencies to get also PCK.ITPA_SHARED installed (do not use the flag to ignore dependencies).

  Example:

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

  Note: To install all ZIP-files from a folder in bulk, copy and paste the following text into a cmd-file, adapt the path, system, client, user, department, and password and execute it:

  @echo off

  setlocal

  echo Installing downloaded Action Packs

  set aesystem=AUTOMIC

  set aeclient=120

  set aeuser=ARA

  set aedepartment=AUTOMIC

  set aepw=ara123

  rem loop packages directory names

  for /f "tokens=*" %%P in ('dir /s /b Downloaded-PCKs\*.zip') do (

  echo %%P

  call automic-pm.cmd install -S %aesystem% -c %aeclient% -u%aeuser%/%aedepartment% -pw %aepw% --from-file %%P -y

  )

As a result the following packages are installed: PCK.AUTOMIC_BOND and PCK.ITPA_SHARED

You may also install more packages using the Package Manager now, or after you finished the installation of CDA as one of the CDA Installation Check and Post-Installation Tasks.
