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.
