Installing assets using Installation Manager
If you have IBM® Installation Manager installed, you can download and install Liberty Repository assets when you install or upgrade Liberty.
Before you begin
Note: To install Liberty Repository
assets, you must have IBM Installation Manager Version 1.6.2
or later.
About this task
You can install Liberty Repository assets from the
following repositories:
- The Liberty Repository, a public IBM-hosted repository that is accessible through the internet. For more information, see Liberty Repository.
- The Liberty Asset Repository Service, an open source service that you can use to create an on-premises repository that is remotely accessible behind the firewall of an enterprise. For more information, see the WASdev/tool.lars project on GitHub.
- Local directory-based repositories, which you create by using the installUtility download action or by downloading the wlp-featureRepo-<version>.zip file, which contains all applicable features and addons. For more information, see Downloading assets using the installUtility command.
You can add the directory-based and Liberty Asset Repository Service repositories to Installation Manager in the same manner that you add the product offering repositories, then install assets from the repositories. Assets are installed from the repositories in the order that you specify them. If these repositories do not contain the assets that you want to install, the assets are installed from the Liberty Repository unless you disable it.
