Client installation overview

There are two different ways to install the Rational® Team Concert client.

The Jazz™ Team Server, Rational Team Concert client, Build System Toolkit, ClearCase® Connector, ClearQuest® Connector and other incubator files can be downloaded from http://jazz.net. To purchase Rational Team Concert, go to http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/rtc/, where you can download an installable image or order a DVD.

Choose one of the installation methods:
  • Download a complete .zip file and extract it to a working location.
  • Download an executable file that will run the IBM® Installation Manager launchpad program to guide you through the install process.
    Note: The Installation Manager has a local and Web installation. The local installation downloads everything you need and can be installed without an Internet connection. The Web installation offers a smaller download and requires an Internet connection during the installation process. The end result is identical, only the installation process is different.
Note: If Security-Enhanced Linux® (SELinux) is enabled, you must disable it or change the security context of the Java Runtime Environment (JREs) to allow text relocation in order to install and run Rational Team Concert. For more information, see Installing Rational Team Concert with Security-Enhanced Linux.
Note: If you plan to install Rational Team Concert into an existing eclipse based product (sometimes referred to as shell sharing), you should use the Installation Manager install method. The Installation Manager simplifies shell sharing by allowing you choose an existing eclipse instance to install the client into.
