The documentation states that one can install from the terminal using a ispm bundle (*.ispm). However, the ispm executable reports the following:

error: unknown option '--install-bundle'

When running: ispm --install-bundle /path/simics-6-packages-2021-16-linux64.ispm

The installation directory has been set using ispm config install-dir /path/install as per documentation, and I even tried using the --install-dir flag, but I ended up on the same issue.

Am I missing any other non-documented requirements perhaps?

Please try adding the command "packages"

./ispm packages --install-bundle </path/to/simics-6-packages-2021-16-linux64.ispm>

optionally, consider adding the "--trust-unsigned-packages", "--non-interactive" and "--install-dir"

  • once installed, I also suggest making sure gtk2 is installed before start using the Simics GUI. – James May 10 '21 at 11:37

    It's worth clarifying that the use of `--install-dir` is only necessary if you want to override the install directory that is stored in the configuration, as @dom mentioned in their original post. It helps with being explicit though. You should also never have to specify `--trust-unsigned-packages` for bundles that come from official sources, like Intel or Wind River. – Brad P.
