Installing the Express edition from the IBM Installation Manager

After obtaining the installation files, start the installation.

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.

Download one of the following installation packages.
There are two methods to install Rational Team Concert Express edition by using IBM® Installation Manager.
- Installation Manager Web install for client, server, and optional components: This archive file contains the Installation Manager launchpad program and the predefined installation repository locations. This is a self-extracting file that starts the IBM Installation Manager launchpad program after extracting the contents. The benefit of using the Web install package is that it reduces the size of initial download and the installation process downloads only the resources you choose to install.
  Note: The Web install requires an Internet connection during the installation process.
- Full DVD Contents .zip file: This archive file contains the Installation Manager launchpad program and a local copy of all the installable resources. The benefit of using the local install package is that it allows the installation to proceed without an Internet connection. This is not a self-extracting .zip file.
Start the launchpad program.
If the Installation Manager is not running, start it.

Note: You must have administrator privileges to run the launchpad program.
- If you are using the Installation Manager Web install, run the executable file. The files are extracted to a directory and a launchpad program appears.
  - To run the file on Windows, run this command:
```
RTC-edition-Full-version-Win-Web.exe
```
  - To run the file on Linux, run this command:
```
sh RTC-edition-Full-version-Linux-Web.sh
```
- If you are using the Full DVD Contents .zip file, extract the contents of the archive into a temporary directory and run the launchpad program.
  - To run the file on Windows, run this command:
```
launchpad.exe
```
  - To run the file on Linux, run this command:
```
sh launchpad.sh
```
When the launchpad program starts you see a list of items to install. Install each package that you want to use in the order listed.
1. Install the Jazz Team Server.
  When using the IBM Installation Manager, note the Installation Directory on the Location page during the installation process. The directory is referred to as JazzInstallDir.
  
  Note: If you are planning to use an existing application server, instead of the included Apache Tomcat server, clear the Apache Tomcat package check box. Doing so, installs only the files required to use with your existing application server. The Installation Manager prompts you to choose a location to install these files.
2. Optional: Install DB2® Express.
  Note: Although a Derby database is included in the default configuration and requires no installation, this database cannot support more than 10 users. If you want to support more than 10 users and do not have access to an existing DB2 or Oracle database, install DB2 Express
  
  If you install DB2 Express, record the user ID, password and port number. This information is needed later. Accepting the defaults during the installation simplifies the Jazz Team Server configuration.
3. Install the Rational Team Concert client.
4. Optional: Install the Build System Toolkit.
