Unable to install API Gateway 7.3.1 on Linux without setting up a node manager or instance

Problem

-- You would like to simply install the files for the API Gateway and set up the node manager and instances afterwards, but there appears to be no option for this in the Linux installer.

Resolution


* The installer options are a bit misleading.  The "Admin Node Manager" option merely installs the files for it, it doesn't actually register the host.  The following sample installation shows the gateway being installed without creating a node manager or any instances.  You will have to register the host after installation and set up instances manually -
