Installing your application server

This topic describes how to install your application server.

Before installing your application server, check the requirements at IBM® Support Portal to ensure you have the applicable hardware and software versions installed.

Install your application server according to the vendor instructions on the product CD-ROM disk.

You should install the Java™ Development Kit (JDK) that is shipped with your application server (unless otherwise specified at the IBM Support Portal). When upgrading the JDK, be sure to set the correct JAVA_HOME environment variable and update the PATH.
