Installation Guide

Installing standalone

Installing a VisualAge Smalltalk standalone development environment consists of two steps. The first step is to install the VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise - Library Manager. Then you install the VisualAge Smalltalk Client.

Installing the library manager

The library manager holds your VisualAge Smalltalk source code. The VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Library Manager should be installed before installing VisualAge Smalltalk Client. For a standalone development environment, you install the library manager on your local machine and connect to the repository using File I/O access, or you can use EMSRV if it is supported on your operating system. This section covers installing the library manager for standalone development using File I/O access.

To install the VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise - Library Manager, do the following:

  1. Begin installation based on your operating system's installation start-up instructions. For more information, see Installing VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Version 5.5.2 on Windows and OS/2.
    Note:
    For late breaking information, click on the Readme push button.
  2. Read the License Agreement. If you agree to the terms and conditions, select Accept. Otherwise, select Decline and exit the installation program.
  3. If you have previously installed VisualAge Smalltalk Manager Library 5.5 or 5.5.1, the Verify Development Manager Library page appears. Verify or type the hostname or directory of the manager library and click Next. A second Verify Development Manager Library page then appears. Ensure that you have backed up your VisualAge Smalltalk Manager Library 5.5/5.5.1 and check the I have backed up my manager library box.
  4. On the Select Features window, if you have previously installed VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Version Manager for 5.5. or 5.5.1, next to the Version 5.5/5.5.1 features that were previously installed you will see a + and a number that indicates the approximate size difference of the feature in VisualAge Smalltalk Version 5.5.2.
  5. On the Select Features window, do the following:
    1. Place a check mark in the box next to the feature(s) you wish to install by clicking on the box next to the desired feature. This will automatically load all of the .dat files needed to run the feature(s). VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Library Manager represents the base code necessary to run the product.
      Note:
      To the right of the features list is a details window box which provides information regarding the feature.
    2. If neither VisualAge Smalltalk Manager 5.5 or 5.5.1 was previously installed, check to make certain that the destination folder is correct. If you wish to change the default, click the Browse push button and change the location by either clicking on a new folder or directly typing the directory in the entry field. Click OK.
    3. Verify that you have enough space for the installation.
    4. Click Next to continue.
  6. You will now be asked to complete the installation. Verify that all of the information is correct and click Next. The product will now install.
  7. When the installation is complete, click Finish to end the install program or View Readme to view the readme file.
