Deciding which steps to follow

If you have not already done so, install Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise 12 and obtain the product CD for WebSphere Application Server or download the product from the Web. The IBM Developer Kit and IBM HTTP Server are provided with WebSphere Application Server and are installed when you install WebSphere Application Server. Install WebSphere Application Server using the Custom Installation option.

If your system is not connected to the network, also complete the steps in "Setting up TCP/IP for standalone operations".
