Installing Rational Team Concert clients

You can install the Rational Team Concert client in three ways.

The Jazz® Team Server, Rational Team Concert client, Build System Toolkit, ClearCase Synchronizer, ClearQuest® Synchronizer and other incubator files can be downloaded from Jazz.net. To purchase Rational Team Concert, go to the Rational Team Concert page on ibm.com, 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 a .zip file that runs the IBM® Installation Manager launchpad program to guide you through the installation process. The Installation Manager has a local and web installation. The local installation downloads everything that 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 result is identical; only the installation process is different.
  • Download and install the p2 installation repository. The p2 repository installation method is suitable for users who can run with the Eclipse Platform, CVS, JDT, and PDE components installed.
Note: If Security-Enhanced Linux® (SELinux) is enabled, you must disable it or change the security context of the Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) to allow text relocation. For more information, see Installing with Security-Enhanced Linux.
Note: If you plan to install Rational Team Concert into a product that is based on Eclipse (sometimes referred to as shell sharing), use the Installation Manager installation method. In that method, you choose an existing Eclipse instance to install the client into.
