Installing QDT

QDT is installed from an ISO file downloaded from the QAD Download Center or the QAD physical product media.

If you received separate physical media containing an updated QDT version, install QDT from that media. Otherwise, install QDT from the downloaded ISO file or the physical product media.

2 Shut down any anti-virus programs running on your system.

3 Verify the Progress OpenEdge Admin and NameServers are up and available. They must be up and available even if they are not initially providing App or WebSpeed servers and brokers.

4 Verify that the Tomcat server container is installed, but is not running (this requirement applies to installation and configuration).

5 If you are installing from QAD physical product media, go to step 6. Otherwise, download the ISO file from the QAD Download Center and unzip it using the appropriate utility (see Unzip Utilities).

6 Mount the downloaded ISO file, QAD physical product media, or separate physical media containing an updated version of QDT.

7 Access the install directory within the newly mounted location.

8 Launch the QDT installation by going to the /install directory and using the ./install.ksh script for Linux/UNIX or install.exe for Windows.

The QDT welcome message appears.
