Operating Systems AIX Installing programs on AIX Post 302868173 by ZekesGarage on Saturday 26th of October 2013 11:17:23 AM

What kind of software, and where is it located? Are they on a CD or DVD, or is it something you've downloaded? You'll need to get the .bff files (or whatever type of source files you have) onto a filesystem the system can read, then from the smitty fast-path
Code:
smitty install

you can pick the location of your installs and move forward.
Depending on the source of your install files, you might need to investigate the 'inutoc' command which creates a TOC (table of contents) file that smitty understands.


Good luck with it!
