Installing new features

About this task

You can install new or additional features, or functions, using IBM® Installation Manager.

When you install Rational® Software Delivery products using the launchpad program, IBM Installation Manager automatically starts even if it is not already installed. Using IBM Installation Manager, you can install all of the features available to you, or choose customize your installation by selecting to install only the features that you need. You can, however, choose to install the excluded optional features at a later date.

Using the Modify Packages function in IBM Installation Manager, you can install additional optional product features for the products it has installed on your system. It is installed on your system when the first Rational Software Delivery Platform product is installed.

Details on modifying packages are available in the IBM Installation Manager online help.

To start the Installation Manager:
  1. For Windows: Click Start > All Programs > IBM Installation Manager > IBM Installation Manager.
  2. For Linux: Change to Installation Manager directory/eclipse and run IBMIM

To start the Modify Packages wizard, click the Modify Packages icon. If you need help using the wizard you can view the online help by clicking Help > Help Contents from the Start page.
