Procedure

In the Installation Manager, click File > Preferences > Repositories, and add a repository link to the product's setup disk and click OK.
Click Install.
Click a product package to highlight it.
The description of the package is displayed in the Details pane at the end of the screen.
To search for updates to the product packages, click Check for Other Versions, Fixes, and Extensions. If updates for a product package are found, then they are displayed in the Installation Packages list on the Install Packages page under their corresponding products. Only recommended updates are displayed by default.
- To view all updates that are found for the available packages, click Show all versions.
- To display a package description in the Details pane, click the package name. If additional information about the package is available, such as a readme file or release notes, a More info link is included at the end of the description text. Click the link to display the additional information in a browser. To fully understand the package that you are installing, review all information.
  Note: For Installation Manager to search the predefined IBM® update repository locations for the installed packages, the Search the linked repositories during installation and updates preference on the Repositories preference page must be selected. This preference is selected by default. Internet access is also required. A progress indicator shows that the search is taking place. You can install updates at the same time that you install the base product package.
Select the product package and any updates to the package to install. Updates that have dependencies are automatically selected and cleared together. Click Next to continue.
Note: If you install multiple packages at the same time, then all the packages are installed into the same package group.
On the Licenses page, read the license agreement for the selected package.
1. If you agree to the terms of all of the license agreements, click I accept the terms of the license agreements.
2. Click Next to continue.
On the Location page, type the path for the shared resources directory in the Shared Resources Directory field, or accept the default path. The shared resources directory contains resources that can be shared by one or more package groups. Click Next to continue.
The default path to use follows:
- C:\Program Files\HCL\HCLIMShared
- /opt/HCL/HCLIMShared
- /Applications/HCL/HCLIMShared
Important: You can specify the shared resources directory only the first time that you install a package. Use your largest disk for this to help ensure adequate space for the shared resources of future packages. You cannot change the directory location unless you uninstall all packages.
On the Location page, create a package group to install the product package into or if this is an update, use the existing package group. A package group represents a directory in which packages share resources with other packages in the same group. To create a package group:
1. Click Create a new package group.
2. Type the path for the installation directory for the package group.
  The name for the package group is created automatically.
  The default path follows:
  - C:\Program Files\HCL\HCLOneTest
  - /opt/HCL/HCLOneTest
  - /Applications/HCL/HCLOneTest
3. Click Next to continue.
Optional: On the next Location page, you can choose to extend an existing Eclipse IDE that is installed on your computer, which adds the functions in the packages that you are installing. You must have Eclipse Version 3.6 with the latest updates from eclipse.org to select this option. Click Next to continue.
Note: HCL OneTest™ Performance does not support extending an existing Eclipse IDE.
On the Features page under Translations, select the languages for the package group. The corresponding translations for the user interface and documentation for the product package will be installed.

If you not clear this check box, multiple instances of OpenJDK are installed as Rational® Application Developer and Rational® Software Architect already have an existing OpenJDK.
