Install the server and applications

To perform a web install of the server and early access licenses for Rational Team Concert, Rational Quality Manager, and Rational Requirements Composer, download the Web Installer for your platform (above), unzip the zip file, and start the launchpad (launchpad.exe or launchpad.sh depending on your platform). The server includes Apache Derby for supporting up to 10 users. To enable more than 10 users, install DB2 or another supported database program.

If you need to install the server in an environment without access to the Internet, visit the All Downloads page and download and unzip the files for the the Jazz Team Server and CCM, QM and RM applications repository and the trial product licenses repository, and install using Installation Manager.

Note: During the installation process you have the option to install different applications. It is possible to only install a subset of the applications. These options are for advanced install scenarios such as distributing the applications across multiple servers or deploying multiple applications of the same type within an application group.
