Installation Guide
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.
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:
- 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.
