Downloading the containerized developer toolkit on the legacy platform

You can download the containerized developer toolkit on the legacy platform by using Self Service.

Before you begin

Ensure that your local workstation meets the expected system requirements that are described in the Prerequisites.

If you have downloaded the latest version of the developer toolkit, you can skip this procedure and directly follow the instructions in the Setting up the containerized developer toolkit environment topic.

About this task

You can download the developer toolkit version from Self Service based on your requirement.

Download the latest version of the developer toolkit for testing before you implement it in your environment.
Download the environment-specific developer toolkit for your environment.

Note: If you are currently using the file-based developer toolkit, IBM recommends migrating to the containerized developer toolkit.

Procedure

Log in to Self Service.
Select the organization.
To download the latest version of the developer toolkit, complete the following steps.
1. Click Download latest toolkit from your username menu.
2. In the License information page, click I agree to accept the license agreement.
3. The latest version of the developer toolkit is downloaded as devtoolkit_latest.tar in your local workstation.
