Set up V8.0.0

To set up MobileFirst Server V8.0.0, we can follow the procedure described in this topic..

Before you begin

Install the required programs and verify that you have met the requirements listed in the Prerequisites section.

Procedure

1. Download the V8.0.0 package and extract the contents to a folder in your development environment.

   This folder is referred to as your installation directory or package_root.

2. Optional: Set the namespace for the container image registry:
   • To get the existing namespace, run the cf ic namespace get command.
   • To set the namespace, run the cf ic namespace set"your_namespace" command.

   For more information, see Managing images.

   Note: This step is required only if you are deploying MobileFirst Server on IBM® Containers or MobileFirst Analytics on IBM Containers.

3. Customize the product components in the container as needed.

   For more information, see Customizing MobileFirst Server containers.
