As Manjunath mentioned it is for 64bit only.
the steps are similiar
install add source ftp://lab:lab@1.2.3.4;vrf/ NCS5500-iosxr-k9-6.5.3.tar (make sure there is space)
install activate <id> (id will be provided once the add is completed)
Thanks

Hi JaeyoungLee
Yes the method to install is the same. RPM packages are for images 64bit XR OS. The recent images are mostly all 64bit except on some legacy platforms.

This forum is for XR not NX, but the error message is saying you don't have enough free space on bootflash partition on either the active or standby RP. You will need to free up space. Can you store the tar files on another partition?
Thanks,
Sam

Issue has been resolved, the old inactive package has to be removed first from the system, then .tar package files will be able to install by adding install add bootflash:xxxx.tar, that will extract .rpm files which will be initially inactive, need to activate those by install activate xxxx.rpm file which will be the extracted file of xxxx.tar, then saving those xxxx.rpm files by install commit xxxx.rpm.
if old inactive packages which are not compatible with your running IOS XR code or NXOS code are present, then installing compitable .tar files will create an error (Insufficient space)
Thanks

Removing the inactive package frees up disk space.
Install add takes a file from any media you choose and adds it to the OS boot media but does not change the active software or committed (reload) software. After an install activate the currently loaded in memory software is changed and after an install commit then the changes are reload persistent.
There was no incompatibility issue, the issue was lack of free space. We recommend always maintaining your free space by removing packages no longer needed and not storing tar files on the boot media (bootflash). There is very limited bootflash space so it is recommended to store these files on another media that has more space.
