Question about OnCommand API Services 2.2 Installation

[EdwardLeung]

Hi all,

As pre-requisites of OnCommand API Services installation, we have to install third-party libraries such as  p7zip and mysql community server in the server. Does it support tar ball installation of these third-party libraries instead of RPM (yum install) installation?

If yes, is there any additional installation procedures which could be referred? Thanks for support.

This is more a question like if there is any other package available than RPM. I did not look recently. Normally you have rpm, deb and binaries to compile. I think not.

Actually, I found that there is another packages available like tar ball to install these third-party libraries. However, it seems that OnCommand API installation script does not support it expect RPM installation of these libraries.

Would anyone share if there is a way to resolve it such that it passes the checking as below if I install these libraries by tar ball? Or only RPM installation of these libraries is the only solution? Thanks for your help and support.

$ ./OnCommand-API-services-2.2.0.bin

5. e) mysql-community-libs, 5.7.16 or later.

Installer will exit if any of the required packages listed above are not available.
