Simply unzip the download, run launchpad.exe (windows) or launchpad.sh (unix), and click the launchpad links to run the Installation Manager for each product you need to install. See the next section if you need to perform an Installation Manager product install in an environment where you cannot establish a network connection to jazz.net.
