Downloading the containerized developer toolkit using the Self Service

Before you begin

• If you do not have access to Self Service, log a case at IBM Support to initiate onboarding. In the case description, you must provide your organization name, account details, organization administrator, and a proactive contact.

  The organization administrator is responsible for managing user access within their organization, including enabling users to download the Developer Toolkit from the platform. The proactive contact serves as the primary point of communication for their organization. The administrator and proactive contact can be the same person.

• As part of the container onboarding process, a Self Service administrator account is created who has privileges to create and manage other Self Service user accounts such as developers, system integrators (SIs).
• The updated Developer Toolkit is uploaded to the Self Service in each release cycle.

Ensure that your local machine meets the expected system requirements for setting up the containerized developer toolkit.

1. Log in to the Self Service tool with your IBMid and password.

   If you do not have an IBM account, then create your IBM account.

2. In the Downloads page, download the latest Developer Toolkit version.
3. In the License information page, click I agree to accept the license agreement.

   The developer toolkit, which is a tar file is downloaded to your local machine.

4. Rename the tar file to devtoolkit_docker.tar.
