Error

Installation fails due to the restrictions assigned to the /tmp directory on Linux platform.

Cause

If the /tmp directory has security restrictions that prevent script execution from it, the installation will fail.

export IATEMPDIR=/new/tmp
export _JAVA_OPTIONS=-Djava.io.tmpdir=/new/tmp
where /new/tmp is the new working directory.
