Installing HCL Commerce Developer by using the IBM Installation Manager

Before you begin

  • Ensure that the machine on which you are installing HCL Commerce Developer meets all prerequisites. For more information, see Setup prerequisites for an HCL Commerce Developer Legacy environment

  • Stop any applications that are running on your machine.
  • Disable any Web server that is on your machine.
  • Ensure that you are logged on as a user with Administrator privileges.
