About this task

You can start the installation of the adapter from the DVD or electronic image, either by using the launchpad program or by running the userinst program. When you do, IBM Installation Manager automatically starts.

The latest version of Installation Manager might be required for your package. Updates are discovered automatically; the option Search for Installation Manager updates check box on the Updates page in the Preferences window of Installation Manager is selected by default.

Procedure

  1. Stop the Jazz Team Server if it is running on an Apache Tomcat application server.
  2. Use the launchpad to install the adapter as an administrator:
    1. If you are installing from the product DVD insert the DVD into your DVD drive, or change to the directory where you extracted the disk images.
    2. For Linux. Mount the DVD drive
    3. For Windows Run launchpad.exe or launchpad64.exe if you have a Windows 64-bit operating system, which is in the GIT\disk1 directory.
    4. For Linux. Run launchpad.sh, which is in the GIT/disk1 directory.
    5. Use the Installation roadmap to guide you through the steps to install and configure the adapter.
    6. Click the link to install the adapter. Skip the next step.
  3. Use the userinst program to install the adapter as a non-administrator:
    1. Change to the InstallerImage_platform subdirectory.
      • For Windows Run InstallerImage_win32_x86\userinst.exe
      • For Linux Run InstallerImage_linux_gtk_x86/userinst
  4. In the Select packages to install window, select the package to install and click Next.

    If another version of the adapter is installed, you are notified. Click Continue to install the package to a new package group.

  7. Select Use the existing package group to install the adapter into an existing Jazz Team Server installation directory, then click Next. You must install the Git adapter into the same location where you installed the Jazz Team Server.
