      The RPM-based installer has a pre-flight check to ensure that the 'noexec' option is not applied to the /tmp, /var, or /var/tmp file systems as this causes problems during installation.  The containerized installer should have a pre-flight check to ensure that the 'noexec' option is not applied to the /home file system or whichever file system contains the home directory of the installation user.

      If 'noexec' is on /home it doesn't cause any obvious problems during the installation, but none of the automation mesh instances transition to a ready state and any jobs that get run remain stuck in a pending state.  However, if 'noexec' is removed from the /home file system before the installation begins, this issue does not come up.  'noexec' on /home is a common configuration in environments where the DISA STIG or similar security profiles are required.
