Question

What are the prerequisites for the installation of IGEL Universal Management Suite on 64-bit operating systems?

Answer

Since UMS 5.09

From UMS Version 5.09, the installation of 32-bit libraries is no longer required. The necessary dependencies are automatically installed if the corresponding option has been chosen during the UMS installation procedure. For information on UMS installation, see IGEL UMS Installation .

Since UMS 5.07.100

From UMS Version 5.07.100, the required 32-bit libraries can automatically be installed by the UMS installer if the corresponding option is chosen during the UMS installation procedure.

Before UMS 5.07.100

Windows: Use the 32-bit compatibility mode (which is activated by default) before installing IGEL UMS (e.g. on Windows Server 2008 R2).
See also MSDN: "Running 32-bit Applications"
Linux (amd64/x86_64): Install the 32-bit compatibility packages before installing IGEL UMS.
Examples with Ubuntu follow below, apart from that see:

# add i386 support
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
# install libraries
sudo apt-get install lib32z1 \ lib32ncurses5 \ lib32bz2-1.0 \ libxtst6:i386 \ libxinerama1:i386 \ libxi6:i386 \ libxext6:i386 \ libxrender1:i386

Example with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit:
# add i386 support
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
# install libraries
sudo apt-get install lib32z1 \ lib32ncurses5 \ libbz2-1.0:i386 \ libxtst6:i386 \ libxinerama1:i386 \ libxi6:i386 \ libxext6:i386 \ libxrender1:i386
