2.4 Installation of Intel® Manycore Platform Software Stack (Intel® MPSS)
The Intel® Manycore Platform Software Stack (Intel® MPSS) may be installed before or after
installing the Intel® Parallel Studio XE for Linux* product.
Using the latest version of Intel® MPSS available is recommended. It is available from the
Intel® Software Development Products Registration Center at http://registrationcenter.intel.com
as part of your Intel® Parallel Studio XE for Linux* registration.
Refer to the Intel® MPSS documentation for the necessary steps to install the user space and
kernel drivers.
2.5 Cluster Installation
To install a product on multiple nodes of a cluster on Linux*, the following steps should be
taken:
1) Run the installation on a system where Intel® Parallel Studio XE Cluster Edition is installed.
Also, passwordless ssh must be configured between machines in a cluster.
2) On step "4 Options" there will be a "Cluster installation" option. The default
value is "Current node".
3) To install on a cluster, the user must select this option and then provide a machines.LINUX
file with IP-addresses, hostnames, FQDNs, and other information for the cluster nodes (one
node per line). The first line is expected to describe the current (master) node.
4) Once the machines.LINUX file is provided, additional options will appear: Number of
parallel installations, Check for shared installation directory.
5) When all options are configured and installation has begun, the installation will check
connectivity with all nodes (a prerequisite) and only then will it install the product on these
nodes.
2.6 Silent Install
For information on automated or “silent” install capability, please see http://intel.ly/ngVHY8.
2.6.1 Support of Non-Interactive Custom Installation
Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2015 Composer Edition supports the saving of user install choices
during an ‘interactive’ install in a configuration file that can then be used for silent installs. This
configuration file is created when the following option is used from the command line install:
 --duplicate config_file_name (or –d config_file_name): it specifies the
configuration file name. If full path file name is specified, the “--download-dir” is
ignored and the installable package will be created under the directory where
configuration file is.
 --download-dir dir_name: optional, it specifies where the configuration file will be
created. If this option is omitted, the installation package and the configuration file will be
created under the default download directory:
 /tmp/<UID>/<package_id>
