Installing a feature

Procedure

To install a feature from an update site into the development workbench environment:

  1. On main menu click Help > Install New Software.
    The Install wizard opens. In the Install wizard an update site is referred to as a repository.
  2. On the Available Software page, expand the Work with list.
  3. If the update site that you want is not in the list, click Add.
    The Add Repository window opens.
    1. Enter a name for the new repository in the Name field.
    2. If the update site that you want is in a file directory, click Local. If it is in an archive file, click Archive.
    3. Browse to the location of the update site and select the file directory or archive file.
    4. Click OK.
    The update site is added to the Work with list.
  4. From the Work with list, select the update site that contains the feature that you want to install.
    The features in the selected update site are displayed in the feature tree.
  5. In the feature tree, expand the category to which your feature belongs and select the checkbox for the feature that you want to install.
    Tip:
    • If you do not see the feature, you might need to expand the category to which the feature belongs, or expand the Uncategorized node if the feature does not belong to a category.
    • To see all of the versions of the feature that are included in the update site, clear the check box Show only the latest versions of available software.
  6. Click Next.
    The wizard validates your selection against the software that is already installed:
    • If any configuration problems or conflicts might prevent your feature from being installed, the wizard displays an error message.
    • Otherwise, the wizard displays the Install Details page. The text areas of the Install Details page are read only.
  7. On the Install Details page, select the feature.
    The feature description is displayed in the Details text area.
  8. To review the copyright, general information, and license agreement, click More.
  9. If your feature contains a software license agreement, click Next.
    The Review Licenses page opens.
  10. To accept the license agreement, click Accept the terms of the license agreement.
  11. Click Finish.
    The wizard installs the selected feature into the development workbench environment.
  12. If you are prompted to restart the workbench, click your choice. Unless you have unprocessed input somewhere in the product, select Restart Now.
