Installing the Management Console

This section describes how to install the Management Console on Windows, UNIX, and Linux platforms. Use the following procedure for any installation scenario supported by Installation Manager.

  1. Perform pre-installation setup, as described in Pre-installation setup. Tasks include the following.
    • International data support setup (required)
    • Database setup (required). This step typically involves creating database objects, installing a database client, and collecting information that is needed during the installation steps in Installation Manager.
    • Security setup (optional, depending on your needs)
  2. Start launchpad to run Installation Manager.
    Note: Launchpad searches for Installation Manager on the host where you run it. If it does not exist, launchpad runs a packaged Installation Manager to install Installation Manager on your host. It then uses the installed Installation Manager to install Build Forge. If you prefer, you can install Installation Manager manually rather than from Launchpad.
  3. Perform the installation steps in Installation Manager.
  4. Perform required post-installation checks.
