1. Download the latest iManager Workstation for Linux in Novell Download Center

2. Extract the package (for me usually in $HOME/Desktop)

3.  Prepare NICI for installation.

$> cd  $HOME/Desktop/imanager
$> cd  NICI/linux
$> sudo cp /nici.i386.rpm / -R

4. Modify the current  iManager.sh in the bin folder ($HOME/Desktop/imanager/bin) and remove the word  ”function” in every functions of the script.

example:

function CHECK_PERMISSIONS()
{
 echo "Test permissions" > $IMANAGER_BIN_NATIVE_DIR/perm.txt
 ....
}

should be

CHECK_PERMISSIONS() 
{ 
echo "Test permissions" > $IMANAGER_BIN_NATIVE_DIR/perm.txt 
.... 
}

5.  In the STARTMANAGER() function, remove the CHECK_NICI;

6.  Save the script and do  some test run.

$> cd $HOME/Desktop/imanager/bin
$> ./iManager.sh
