After you register, you can select the Linux or Windows package. We will walk through the<br />

installation process in the next section.<br />

1.3 Installing the <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Studio</strong> full client<br />

The <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Studio</strong> full client can be installed using the Launchpad GUI, which launches <strong>IBM</strong><br />

Installation Manager, or silently, which means you create a response file of your chosen<br />

installation options, and then run that response file. Silent install is mainly useful <strong>for</strong> larger<br />

installations in which installation must be pushed out to many machines.<br />

<strong>IBM</strong> Installation Manager is a program <strong>for</strong> installing, updating, and modifying packages. It<br />

helps you manage the <strong>IBM</strong> applications, or packages, that it installs on your computer.<br />

Installation Manager does more than install packages: It helps you keep track of what you<br />

have installed, determine what is available <strong>for</strong> you to install, and organize installation<br />

directories. For more in Installation Manager, see the following topic in the <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Studio</strong><br />

This chapter focuses on the Launchpad installation. It assumes you do not have <strong>IBM</strong><br />

Installation Manager installed. This means that installing <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Studio</strong> starts by installing<br />

<strong>IBM</strong> Installation Manager. If you choose to install additional products that also use that<br />

release of Installation Manager, you do not need to install Installation Manager again.<br />

Figure 1.4 shows the installation process described in this chapter.
