Installing ClearTeam Explorer

Install the ClearTeam® Explorer client using Installation Manager. This version of the client, introduced in ClearCase® version 8.0, can coexist on a system with DevOps Code ClearCase Remote Client version 7.1.x.

Before you begin

These instructions explain how to install ClearTeam Explorer separately on a single system with the Installation Manager. You must install and configure the Installation Manager in order to complete the ClearTeam Explorer installation process.

DevOps Code ClearCase supports other installation methods that automatically download, install, and configure the Installation Manager for installing ClearCase components:
  • Installing from a downloaded electronic image on your workstation
  • Installing from an electronic image on a shared drive
  • Installing from a repository on an HTTP or HTTPS web server
Check with your DevOps Code ClearCase administrator to see whether any of these methods are available.
