Lycia QPM CLI

Attention: To install Lycia on Linux, you must run the installation as a superuser. We also recommend to create a user and a group called querix or informix that will act as the owner for the Querix installation.

Attention: You only can install Lycia on computers connected to the Internet. Make sure SELinux permits network usage for QPM process, otherwise you may get a segmentation fault (core dumped) error.

By default, QPM command line tool installs Lycia to these folders:

/opt/Querix/Lycia

To install Lycia with default parameters, use the following command:
