  2. Extract the Installation Manager download to a temporary location.
  3. Navigate to the temporary location and run the installer appropriate for your user account. If your user account has administrative rights on the computer, run the install executable file. If your user account is non-administrative, run the userinst executable file.

Configuring the IBM-Hosted Repository

  1. In Installation Manager, go to File>Preferences.
  2. In the Repositories panel, click the Add Repository button. Enter the repository URL for the version of WebSphere Application Server that you want to install:

  3. If prompted, authenticate with the IBM-hosted repository using your My IBMid credentials.
  4. When Installation Manager connects to the repository URL, the connection status icon turns green. Click OK.
    Note: These URLs do not work if entered into a browser, they are only for use with Installation Manager.
