Installing the IBM Engineering Workflow Management Eclipse client by using Installation Manager

When you install the IBM® Engineering Workflow Management Eclipse client by using IBM Installation Manager, you can use one of two methods: install from a web installer or install from an Installation Manager repository package.

1. Download either the web installer for your platform or the Installation Manager repository package.
2. Extract the .zip file to a temporary directory.
3. Install by using either the web installer or the Installation Manager repository package.
   • To install by using the web installer:
     1. Open a command prompt and change to the directory where you extracted the .zip file to, and enter launchpad. The launchpad opens.
        Note: If you want to install the product as a non-root user on UNIX systems or as a non-administrator on Windows systems, from the Select user mode for Installation Manager list, select Non-Administrator. When you select Non-Administrator, the software packages will be installed in the user's directory and the package group will be named My IBM Engineering Workflow Management Client.
     2. Click Install an IDE client, and then click IBM Engineering Workflow Management - Client for Eclipse 4.x.x IDE. Installation Manager opens.
     3. Follow the steps in Installation Manager to complete the installation. For installation tips, see the "Tips" section in this topic.
   • To install by using the Installation Manager repository package:
     1. Start Installation Manager.

        If you do not have a supported version of Installation Manager, you can obtain it from Jazz.net or download the web installer, which includes the latest version of Installation Manager.

     2. Click File > Preferences, and then select Add Repository.
     3. To specify the repository location, browse to the directory where you downloaded the .zip file and open the repository.config file.
     4. Click OK, and then click Install to start the installation process.
     5. Follow the instructions in Installation Manager to complete the installation. For installation tips, see the "Tips" section in this topic.
     Tips: As you follow the steps in Installation Manager, be aware of this information:

     • If this is your first time installing by using Installation Manager, after you accept the license agreement, you are prompted to create a shared resource directory. You create this directory only once; it is shared by all of the products that you subsequently install by using Installation Manager.
     • To run the application without administrative privileges on a Windows 10 operating system, you must install the application package into a directory that is not virtualized. The Program Files directory on Windows 10 is virtualized. When you install by using Installation Manager, the default installation directory is C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer. To run an application with administrative privileges after it is installed, right-click the package and click Run as administrator.
     • You can install the EWM Eclipse client into an existing Eclipse workbench. When you extend Eclipse, the package functions are available in your Eclipse IDE, but the package files are installed in their own directory.
       1. Download the repo Client for Eclipse 4.x IDE (Extension Install) from the All Downloads section.
       2. Extract the .zip file to a temporary directory.
       3. Start Installation Manager.
       4. If you do not have a supported version of Installation Manager, you can download it from Jazz.net.
       5. Click File > Preferences, and then click Add Repository.
       6. To specify the repository location, browse to the directory where you downloaded the .zip file and open the repository.config file.
       7. Click OK, and then click Install to start the installation process.
       8. Follow the instructions in Installation Manager to complete the installation.
       9. While installing, provide the location of the Eclipse IDE.
