Downloading and assembling the product

1. Download all of the parts that you need, both required and optional. The parts are described by operating system in the tabbed sections of this document.
2. Unpack each of the parts into a single temporary directory on your system.
3. Use short path names for the directory used to extract the packages, for example: C:\tsm_images. Path names inside the package are long and extracting the package to a lengthy directory name can cause problems with the 255-character file path limit on Windows.

   Ensure that the path does not contain non-ASCII characters.

4. Follow the instructions in the IBM Spectrum Protect Installation Guide to install the product.
