Install Portal and WebSphere binary files

On the target system, install the portal and WebSphere binary files.

To effectively set up the target environment, install the Portal and WebSphere binary files on all target systems. Nodes and stand-alone servers require a binary Portal and WebSphere installation, while deployment managers require only a WebSphere binary installation.

The following high-level steps provide guidance for using the IBM Installation Manager. Refer to the Installing the Exceptional Digital Experience section for other installation alternatives.

If we previously did a full Portal installation, remove all profiles.

1. Start the IBM Installation Manager.

2. Follow the IBM Installation Manager instructions through the different screens.

3. While on the Features screen, make sure that Create a new Portal Server Profile is not selected.

4. Proceed with the remaining instructions to complete the binary installation.
