Hi Paul, I would suggest you to go ahead with an user ( generally known as "root") which has all the administrative permissions.
If you go ahead with any other user than you will have to make sure that this user has "777 i.e rwx" access to the following directories 1. Directory where your installer is copied on the Linux machine. 2. Directory where you install the ITSM. 3. Directory which you will use as temporary directory for Installation. You need to set the following variables to use particular directory as temporary location for installer 1. export IATEMPDIR=<Path to the directory> 2. export TMP=< Path to the directory> Regards, Ripu Daman Bhadoria Staff Product Developer Platform Development Function Email : ripu_bhado...@bmc.com<mailto:ripu_bhado...@bmc.com> Desk : +91 20 40175901 Mobile : +91 9561878985 Fax : +91 20 40175001 Company : BMC Software (http://www.bmc.com/) [cid:image002.gif@01CDD302.88DF66F0]<http://www.bmc.com/> From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Hodgdon, Paul Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2012 9:26 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: ITSM install user account in Linux ** I was wondering if there is a best practice or pros/cons to which user you use in Linux to install the ITSM suite?
