Summary of Package Management
The general procedure for adding optional packages, upgrading a package or package set, or downgrading
packages on the router is as follows:
1
Copy the package file or files to a local storage device or file server.
2
Add the package or packages on the router using the command install add.
3
Activate the package or packages on the router using the install activate command.
4
Commit the current set of packages using the install commit command.
Figure 1: Process to Add, Activate, and Commit Cisco IOS XR Software Packages, on page 25 illustrates

Adding Packages
Use the install add command to unpack the package software files from a PIE file and copy them to the
boot device (usually disk0:) of your router.
From administration EXEC mode, the package software files are added to the boot device of the DSC of the
router, as well as all active and standby Route Processors (RPs) and fabric shelf controllers (SCs) installed
on the router.
