Re: Downloading RDi for Mac -- WDSCI-L

FWIW I would suggest doing a user install on Mac (and Linux) to make things
easier to manage later for updates, licensing, etc.

The RDI installer that you download as a "trial" is identical to what you
get from ESS or PA. The install will be the full product with a 60-day
trial license until you apply the activation kit (or otherwise license it)

I finally found it, bright where Rex said, just had to poke around a bit
inside there.

They want all there stuff inside an IBM folder I guess. It seems it
should be easier to install, quicker to find. Ah well...

Thanks a lot for your help Jon, Rex...

BUT - I think IBM have done a very poor job here. There's no reason they

could not have put the App where you expect to find it (i.e. in
Applications - or at least - only one level down).

I'm surprised it fooled you though since IM is equally well hidden!

Part of my issue was my unfamiliarity with how things are done on the

Mac, but most of it was a lack in step-by-step in IBM instructions. In my
opinion.

I finally downloaded the IBM Installation Manager after a couple of

hoops, done.

Then I got Rational Developer for i downloaded, version 9.6.0.1.

But wait! Why can't I find it anywhere in Apps, or anywhere else! Where

does it put it (I don't remember any prompting). The IBM Installer itself
is there in Applications, under the IBM folder but I don't see RDi, nor
Rational Developer for i, nor even IBM Rational Developer for i.

Jon,

That's a great resource, thank you. Once that is installed, assuming

the

customer purchases the licenses can they be applied to this version or

they need to download and reinstall from passport advantage?

While my download and install went flawlessly at 9.5.1 (albeit a bit
tedious) many customers just don't have the same experience. This

looks far

easier.

Good morning,

I'm having trouble deciphering IBM's directions on downloading the

trial

version of RDi to my Mac.

Jon Paris wrote an article about using RDi on Mac, but nothing about

downloading.

I signed in with my IBM-id, went to the RDi page, which said to first

download the IBM Download Director. I followed the most likely links to
download it, but all I get seems to be a fix pack.

Is there somewhere I can find GOOD instructions on this?
