About this task
You can quickly install WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base by extracting an archive file on all supported platforms.
On UNIX workstations, you can install WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base using a user of your choice. In this case, assign the HCL Workload Automation administrative user read and write access to the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base installation directory.
To extract the archive, you can use your own Java Ext or use the Java Ext provided with the HCL Workload Automation image. The provided Java Ext is located in the following path in the image for your operating system: IMAGE_DIR/TWS/INTERP/Tivoli_Eclipse_INTERP/TWS/JavaExt.
To install WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base, perform the following steps:

Note: Note that the value of the install_dir parameter must match the value to be defined for the wlpdir parameter when installing the master domain manager and its backup, dynamic domain manager and its backup, and the Dynamic Workload Console.
- Ensure the HCL Workload Automation administrative user that you created has the rights to run WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base and full access to the installation directory. If WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base is shared between the master domain manager and the Dynamic Workload Console, ensure also the Dynamic Workload Console user has the same rights.
