The deployment manager expects a X-capable graphical environment, which it detects through the DISPLAY environment variable. This usually looks like

localhost:10.0

instead of the localhost, it can/might contain a IP address.

So you should either install from a graphical console for the Linux server, or if you want to do it remotely, set up a X server on your PC and run the setup through that.

AFAIK, the SDW is always started by running setup.sh from the root of the SAS depot.

@srilax, @Kurt_Bremser,

That's true, but if you do not have an X11 server, you can start SAS Deployment Manager in text mode:

./sasdm.sh -console

Has sasdm.sh been added rather recently, or is it Linux-specific? My AIX depot only contains the setup.sh.
