Downloading assets using the installUtility command
You can use the installUtility command to download assets to your local file system.
Before you begin
Before you can access the IBM® WebSphere® Liberty Repository using the installUtility command, you must install Liberty for WebSphere Application Server.
About this task
By default, the installUtility command is configured to download assets only from the public IBM WebSphere Liberty Repository. If you want to download assets from a local directory-based repository or an instance of the Liberty Asset Repository Service, you must configure these repositories in the repositories.properties file. For more information, see Configuring repositories and proxy settings for the installUtility command.
For a list of the actions and options for the installUtility command, see installUtility command.
For Version 8.5.5.8 and later,
you can use the installUtility command to work with repository assets directly
from the wlp-featureRepo-<version>.zip file and other
compressed directory-based repositories without extracting the archives.
