Software Installation

The final step is to install the software using either the script, VMSINSTAL, or the DCL command, PRODUCT (also called POLYCENTER). Read the installation instructions that accompany the product to determine the exact procedure and other requirements. Normally, options must be selected, and the manager should do his or her homework before installation. This is a typical PRODUCT installation dialog when installing TCP/IP:
