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.
- 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)
- 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.
- Perform the installation steps in Installation Manager.
- Perform required post-installation checks.
See
Alternative installation methods for installation procedures for the following
scenarios:
- Using your own installations of the following required applications,
instead of those that are provided and installed by Build Forge:
- Apache HTTP server
- PHP
- Apache Tomcat
- Silent installation of product components using IBM Installation
Manager
- Installation on VMware
- Installation of the Management Console on SUSE Linux on System
