UPDATE - June 19, 2013

Web Installs of RDi V9.0 trial and RD AIX and Linux V9.0 are possible but the standard developerWorks trial pages are not available yet.  So, there are some manual steps required temporarily if you do not want to wait for the updates to the developerWorks pages.

1.  Install IBM Installation Manager 1.6.3.1.  If you have Installation Manager installed already, in File>Preferences go to the 'Updates' preference page.  Make sure that 'Search for Installation Manager updates' is checked.  If you do not have Installation Manager or Installation Manager does not update automatically to 1.6.3.1, please see /support/pages/node/313795

2.  Specify the repository for RDi 9.0 or RD AIX and Linux 9.0 in Installation Manager.  In Installation Manager, go to the 'Repositories' preference page.  Add a repository.  For RDi 9.0, specify https://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.rational.developer.ibmi.v90.  For RD AIX and Linux 9.0, specify https://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.rational.developer.aixlinux.v90.

3.  Click 'Install' in Installation Manager.  You will be prompted for a user id and password.  This is your IBM ID.  It is required to be able to install the trial.  If you do not have one, you can register for one (they are free) at developerWorks.

 

UPDATE - June 20, 2013

IBM Data Studio Client 4.1 is included with RDi 9.0 and RD AIX and Linux 9.0.  You can download IBM Data Studio Client from Passport Advantage.  If you do not want to go to Passport to get it, you can also get it from http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24034614.
