1.0 Overview

This document describes how to install IBM^® Rational^® Software Modeler Refresh Pack 6.0.1 by using IBM Rational Product Updater. This refresh pack is provided as an update. You should use Rational Product Updater to install this refresh pack directly from the IBM update server; however, you can also download a ZIP file that contains this refresh pack and then use Rational Product Updater to perform local installations. The following sections describe how to install this refresh pack.

2.0 Installation prerequisites

To install the refresh pack directly from the IBM update server, you require 400 MB of disk space. If you download, extract, and install the refresh pack from a ZIP file, you require 1 GB of disk space. To increase the available disk space, you can delete the ZIP files and extracted files after you install the refresh pack.

Before you can install this refresh pack, you must install IBM Rational Product Updater 6.0.1. In Rational Product Updater, if you use the default update site preferences, IBM Rational Product Updater 6.0.1 is automatically installed when you search for updates or optional features. However, if you change the default update site preferences by clicking Preferences > Update Sites, you must restore the default settings before you can install the refresh pack.

If you disabled any product features by modifying the feature.xml files or through the Update Manager by clicking Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration, you must enable them before you install this refresh pack.
