2.3 Installing Optim Development Studio
A free 30-day trial of ODS can be obtained from the product’s download page. You can
download three variants of the package:
• Web install using IBM Installation Manager (IM): It includes IBM Installation
Manager install package and ODS product information that lets you install ODS
from within IM.
• Web install if you already have IBM Installation Manager installed: this
package provides all the information required to install ODS from an Installation
Manager installation already present in your system.
• Local install using Download Director or HTTP: this package contains all the
binaries that make ODS and should be used when you want to install the product
from your local drive instead of using a web repository.
These installation packages are highlighted in figure Figure 2.2.

While web install reduces the amount of information that needs to be downloaded, local
install provides more flexibility, as you can download the package at one time and install it
later, even without internet connection. For that reason, we will be describing that
installation method. From the product’s download page, download the package highlighted
in Figure 2.2, Local install using Download Director or HTTP, and proceed to the next
section, where we describe the installation process in detail.
