Pre-installation Tasks

This chapter describes tasks and checks to perform before installing OpenFrame ASM.

1. System Requirements

The following are the hardware and software requirements for installing OpenFrame ASM.

Category Requirement

Hardware

Minimum 100 MB of hard disk space

Minimum 256 MB of memory

Minimum 1 GB of hard disk space and 512 MB of memory recommended

Software

gcc, g++ 4.8.X or later

Linux OS

2. Verifying Available Disk Space

Verify the amount of free disk space in Linux before installing OpenFrame ASM. A minimum of 100 MB of free space is required.

To check available hardware space in Linux, execute the df command at the Linux prompt.

$ df -k

Executing the command outputs the following:

/dev/mapper/vg_oflinux64-lv_home 899263880 651491856 202092000 77% /home

The result shows that 651491856 KB out of 899263880 KB of the /home directory space is in use. 202092000 KB is available for use and 77% of the total capacity is in use.

3. Verifying System Environment

Check that 4.4.X or later version of gcc and g++ are installed on the system before installing OpenFrame ASM.

Check the gcc and g++ versions using the following commands:

  • gcc

    $ gcc --version
