## Installation steps

Follow the steps below for each of your VMs:
Follow the steps below for each of your VMs.

{{< note >}}RDI installs executables by default in the `/var` partition, so you must
ensure it is mounted without the `noexec` option. Use the following command to
find any partitions mounted with the `noexec` option:

```bash
mount | grep noexec
```

If your `/var` partition is listed in the output from this command, you must remount
it without the `noexec` option. See
[Using the mount command](https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/5/html/deployment_guide/chap-using_the_mount_command) in the Red Hat documentation to learn how to remount a partition.
