[root@orion:/root]$ groupadd bea
[root@orion:/root]$ useradd -g tuxedo -G psoft -G bea tuxedo

2. Install software as tuxedo user.
The tuxedo's installation folder might be inside the PS_HOME directory, but since we can share the Tuxedo software by multiple Peopletools and Peoplesoft applications, better to externalize the Tuxedo software and do not duplicate the installation.
[tuxedo@orion:/nfs/software/peoplesoft/BEA/BEA_Tuxedo_9.1]$ sh ./install.sh

[tuxedo@orion:/home/tuxedo]$

4. After reconnection, check the installation by existence of two files :
[tuxedo@orion:/home/tuxedo]$ cd $TUXDIR
[tuxedo@orion:/apps/bea/tuxedo/9.1]$ ls
bin cobinclude help include lib locale samples tux.env udataobj uninstaller
[tuxedo@orion:/apps/bea/tuxedo/9.1]$ find . -name lic.txt
./udataobj/lic.txt
[tuxedo@orion:/apps/bea/tuxedo/9.1]$ find . -name tlisten.pw
./udataobj/tlisten.pw
[tuxedo@orion:/apps/bea/tuxedo/9.1]$
[tuxedo@orion:/apps/bea/tuxedo/9.1]$ ln -s $TUXDIR/locale/C $TUXDIR/locale/Ja_JP
[tuxedo@orion:/apps/bea/tuxedo/9.1]$ ls -lrt locale
