Issue/Introduction

bash Permission Denied error when installing the Linux Agent
This usually occurs when /tmp has noexec set 

Environment

SEP Linux 14.3 RU4+
DCS Linux Agent 6.x+

Cause

In some environments /tmp has the noexec flag set, this blocks installs

Resolution

You can use an installation option to specify different TMPDIR path only for installation

Copy the file to any known location (recommended is /tmp)

chmod a+x LinuxInstall_<OS>_<version>_<datetime>
chown root:root LinuxInstall_<OS>_<version>_<datetime>
Run the installation with the TMPDIR setting on the same line
TMPDIR=<tmp directory path> ./LinuxInstall_<OS>_<version>_<datetime>
