Chapter 2. Installing IBM WebSphere
You must download and install IBM Installation Manager before installing IBM WebSphere.
2.1. Downloading and installing IBM Installation Manager
- Download IBM Installation Manager version 1.8.5 or later from the IBM Installation Manager and Packaging Utility download links page.
Extract the downloaded archive and run the following command as the root user in the new directory:
sudo ./install
IBM Installation Manager opens.
Go to File → Preferences and click Add Repository.
The Add Repository dialog window opens.
Enter the repository URL for IBM WebSphere 9.0. You can find all the repository URLs in the Online product repositories for WebSphere Application Server offerings page of the IBM Knowledge Center. For example:
http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/V9WASILAN
2.2. Creating a WebSphere profile and user name
A profile defines the run time environment. The profile includes all the files that the server processes in the run time environment and that you can change. The user is required for login. In this example, we will use websphere for both the user name and password.
- From your terminal, navigate to the WebSphere Application Server folder location that you specified during the installation.
Change to the
/bindirectory and run the following command:sudo ./manageprofiles.sh -create -profileName testprofile -adminUserName websphere -adminPassword websphere
