Installing on a remote machine

To install on a remote machine from the local machine, you must set permission on the local machine for the remote machine to display the InstallShield windows on the local machine.

Granting permission for a remote machine to run InstallShield in GUI mode

Enter the following command at the UNIX prompt of your local machine:
```
xhost +remote_machine
```
where remote_machine is the machine on which you are running InstallShield.
On the remote machine where you are installing the software, verify that the DISPLAY environment variable is set to the local machine where you are viewing the InstallShield windows and output. If InstallShield cannot find your DISPLAY variable, you cannot run the GUI.
- For C shell:
```
setenv DISPLAY host_name:0.0
```
- For Bourne shell:
```
DISPLAY=host_name:0.0; export DISPLAY
```
  where host_name is the name of the local (display) machine.

For remote installations, you must be able to rsh into the machine on which you are installing the software. If you cannot do this, add the installation host to your .rhosts file.
