Installing from a remote machine

To run InstallShield on a remote machine, that machine must have permission to display the InstallShield windows on the local machine.

To grant this permission, enter the following command at the UNIX prompt of your local machine:
```
xhost +remote_machine 
```
where remote_machine is the window on which you are running InstallShield.
From the remote machine where you are running InstallShield, 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 graphical user interface.

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 install host to your .rhosts file.
