Download the IBM z/OS Connect Designer image

Download the IBM z/OS Connect Designer image to start creating IBM z/OS Connect API projects.

1. Download from the IBM Cloud Container Registry.
   Open a terminal session and download the z/OS Connect Designer with the following command:

   docker pull icr.io/zosconnect/ibm-zcon-designer:3.0.80

   Note:

   • If you are logged in to Docker, you might get a message indicating that you need to log in to download the image. You do not need to login to the IBM Cloud Container Registry to download the Designer image, so logoff Docker with the following commands and try the download again.

     docker logout icr.io

     and

     docker logout cp.icr.io

   • If you are a Cloud Administrator downloading the z/OS Connect Designer image to make it available to developers you will need to place it in the shared image registry that can be accessed.

   While the download occurs, the screen shows progress messages similar to the following.
