Planning what features to install

You can customize your software product by selecting which features to install.
When you install the product package by using IBM® Installation Manager, the installation wizard displays the features in the available product package. From the features list, you can select which to install. A default set of features is selected for you (including any required features). Installation Manager automatically enforces any dependencies between features and prevents you from clearing any required features.
Tip: After you finish installing the package, you can still add or remove features from your software product by running the Modify Packages wizard in Installation Manager.

This table shows the features of the product that you can install. Default selections of features to install might vary. If a feature already exists in your shared resources directory, it will not be selected by default and will not be installed again.
