[V5.1 and later]Installing

Installing is an activity in which you put software onto machines. Some installation can be performed after the initial product setup, such as installing the complimentary application clients provided with the product.

For V5.1 the Launchpad and the installer wizard use the language setting from the machine locale to determine the language for the interface.

Installation can be part of setting up a multiple node production environment, in which case significant planning is needed.

See Establishing multimachine environments for the detailed setup instructions once you have installed WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment on various machines.

Application developers might perform quick, single machine installations to create a realistic server environment for unit-testing code artifacts and applications. This task can require little preparation beyond checking the software and hardware requirements.
