To begin the Typical installation, follow these steps:
The Choose the Setup Type screen appears.
After you have selected Typical installation, the Software Prerequisites screen appears.
If any software program you require for your system has a status of Not Installed or Optional, you can use the Launchpad to either install it or to direct you to where to obtain it.
To install a software program using Launchpad, click on the product or item name. Other selectable buttons or options become visible. For example, an Install button might become available. Select the Install button to begin the installation of the program. When the installation process for the software program is complete, you will be returned to the Software Prerequisites screen and the program name will have OK next to it.
(Custom installation only.) If the DB2 Universal Database for iSeries is Not Configured, you can use the Launchpad to configure it. Click on the word "Database" to start; additional fields are displayed. Refer to Database installation and configuration for important information before you configure the database.
For more information on the installation of software prerequisites, including why you may need to install certain prerequisites, refer to the section Software prerequisites. Note that for a Custom installation, this screen will list more prerequisites than shown in the illustration. In addition, the screen will display prerequisites for both the OS/400 or i5/OS system and the Windows client.
Once the software prerequisites required for your planned installation each have a status of OK, select the button labeled Install Product located at the bottom of the screen.
The Software License Agreement screen appears.
The RBAC Information screen appears.
Make note of the User Name and password that you enter. You will need it later.
A summary screen appears.
The installation process begins. A status bar appears, indicating that installation is underway. Various messages state what components are being installed or configured. This process could take some time, depending on your system.
As the installation process begins, the installer verifies that enough disk space exists for the installation. If enough space does not exist, a panel will be displayed with only the Back and Cancel buttons enabled since installation cannot be completed with the provided disk space. In this case, you must free some space on the specified drive.
A message appears informing you that the installation is complete and asks if you would like to launch the First Steps application. For more information on this application, refer to the section Using First Steps
