Installing Liberty using Installation Manager

You can install WebSphere® Application Server Liberty using IBM® Installation Manager Version 1.8.5 or later. Installation Manager provides managed installations, allows for in-place updates, and is the same tool that is used to install many other IBM products.

About this task

[16.0.0.4 and later]Note: Support for using Java SE 6 with WebSphere Liberty ends in September 2017. After the end of support, the Liberty kernel will be recompiled and can no longer run with Java SE 6. If you continue to use Java SE 6 on earlier fix packs after the end of support date, you could expose your environment to security risks.

Java SE 8 is the recommended Java SDK because it provides the latest features and security updates. You can install it by installing the IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition, Version 8 package to the package group that contains WebSphere Liberty.

Installation Manager is a general-purpose software installation and update tool that runs on a range of computer systems. You can use the Installation Manager graphical user interface (GUI), command line, response files, or console mode as dependent on your operating system.

New: Liberty now follows a continuous delivery process with a new fix pack numbering scheme. For more information, see What is new in Liberty.

The documentation primarily covers installing the Liberty product. You can also install supplemental offerings to use with Liberty, such as IBM HTTP Server or the Web Server Plug-ins. For information about installing these offerings, see the installation documentation for WebSphere Application Server traditional.
