Installing the mobile apps

The installation process involves running the installation and configuration programs on one or more computers.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have installed the required components for IBM® Maximo® Anywhere 7.6.1 or a later version on the computer where Maximo Asset Configuration Manager is installed.

If you plan to install the Maximo Asset Configuration Manager mobile apps on a designated build computer, copy the apps and the Maximo Anywhere compressed file to the target computer.

Before you can build and deploy mobile apps on the build computer, your system requires either the Android, iOS, or Windows development tools. For more information, see IBM Knowledge Center (www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSPJLC_7.6.1/com.ibm.si.mpl.doc/install/t_set_up_buildserver.html).
