Install Cognos UI and Error String Customization Toolkit on UNIX or Linux

You can install IBM® Cognos® User Interface and Error String Customization Toolkit on UNIX or Linux operating systems by using a graphical user interface. The console attached to your UNIX computer must support a JavaTM graphical user interface.

Cognos UI and Error String Customization Toolkit respects the file mode creation mask (umask) of the account running the installation application. This affects only the installation directories. It does not affect the file permissions within the directories. However, run-time generated files, such as logs, respect the umask. We recommend umask 022 on the installation directory.

You can also install Cognos UI and Error String Customization Toolkit on UNIX or Linux operating systems by using a character-based interface.
