Install feature packs on the toolkit using the IBM Installation Manager

In the development environment, you can install feature packs using the IBM Installation Manager. Use the Update wizard to install fix packs.

You can install WebSphere Commerce Developer, fix packs, and feature packs simultaneously on a clean machine by adding all repositories to the IBM Installation Manager and then installing WebSphere Commerce Developer with the fix pack and feature pack.

• Install WebSphere Commerce Developer Fix Pack 2 or later.

• Install WebSphere Application Server v7.0.0.11 or a higher level of v7.0.0.
