QAD Deployment Toolkit Installation > Overview
  
Overview
The QAD Deployment Toolkit (QDT) is installed before QAD Enterprise Edition. QDT streamlines the installation of QAD Enterprise Edition and other QAD products by automatically finding system information (such as component locations) and appropriately modifying the QAD Enterprise Edition configuration profile.
QDT provides two QAD Enterprise Edition installation options:
Default Installation, which other than setting up connection information, uses the default configuration values without modification.
Custom Installation, where in addition to setting up connection information, one or more of the default configuration values are modified.
You must install QDT before attempting to install QAD Enterprise Edition.
Note: Before installing QDT and QAD Enterprise Edition, verify the environment variables for the prerequisite Java and Tomcat installations on your target system are set. See Installation Summary and Requirements for more details about software requirements.
