These are the typical installation scenarios you might follow:
Note that in the latter scenario you can choose to run the IBM Installation Manager program in silent mode to install product packages. For details on running IBM Installation Manager in silent mode, see Installing silently.
Note also that you can install updates at the same time that you install the base product package.
Note that to install product packages as a non-administrator, you must manually run the userinst program in the InstallerImage_platform folder from the DVD or electronic image instead of running the launchpad program.
In this installation scenario, you have the DVD that contains the product package files, and typically you are installing on your own workstation. See Installing from DVD: task overview for an overview of the steps.
In this scenario, you have downloaded the installation files from either IBM Passport Advantage or IBM's Entitled software support site and you will install on your own workstation. See Installing from an electronic image: task overview for an overview of the steps.
