You can install WebSphere Application Server Liberty using IBM Installation Manager.

About this task

Installation Manager is a general-purpose software installation and update tool that runs on a range of computer systems.

Note: Although WebSphere Application Server Liberty can be installed and maintained using Installation Manager Version 1.5.2 and later, this information is optimized for use with Installation Manager Version 1.6.2 and later.
Note: Starting with Version 1.6.2, Installation Manager supports Mac OS X. Installing and maintaining a Liberty offering using Installation Manager on Mac OS X is supported for the following offerings:
  • IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Liberty
  • IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Trial
  • IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core
  • IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core Trial
  • IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty - Express®
  • IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Network Deployment
  • IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Network Deployment Trial
  • IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty for Developers
  • IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty for Developers (ILAN)
Installation Manager for Mac OS X is not contained in the product image or on the product media. You can obtain Installation Manager Version 1.6.2 and later from the IBM Installation Manager download website. Refer to the System Requirements for IBM Installation Manager website and System Requirements for WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5.5 website for complete details on Mac OS X support.
Note: [Updated in February 2014] You can install WebSphere Application Server Liberty using the Installation Manager Graphical User Interface (GUI) or Installation Manager in console mode. Console mode is an interactive text-based user interface to Installation Manager. Use console mode when you do not have a graphics display device available or when you want to run the Installation Manager without the graphical user interface. For example, use console mode for server-side deployments when no graphical user interface is present, or for running the installation from a remote host. [Updated in February 2014]
