Starting launchpad from a downloaded package

Use these instructions to download an installation package and start launchpad.
  1. From IBM Passport Advantage, download the installation package for your operating system to a temporary directory on the host where you are installing Build Forge.
  2. Extract the installation image from the downloaded file to a local directory. The contents of the file are extracted to the local directory.
  3. Start the launchpad program from the directory where you extracted the files, as follows:
    • Windows: run launchpad.exe.
    • UNIX/Linux: run launchpad.sh.
  4. Select the package to install in Installation Manager.
    • If IBM Installation Manager is found on your host, launchpad starts it.

      On the first Install Packages page, select the Build Forge package, and then click Next.

    • If IBM Installation Manager is not found, a packaged Installation Manager starts in order to install Installation Manager, and then uses it to install Build Forge.

      On the first Install Packages page, select the Installation Manager and Build Forge packages, and then click Next.
