## 4.1 Overview 

The setup process for IBM Case Manager and the underlying IBM FileNet P8 Platform includes the steps: 

1. Downloading IBM CMPIT components. 

2. Running the IBM CMPIT Installer. 

3. Downloading FileNet P8 Platform and IBM Case Manager fix packs. 

4. Installing FileNet P8 Platform and IBM Case Manager fix packs. 

5. Verifying installed components. 

The IBM CMPIT provides a series of scripts that install and configure all of the supporting software and applications to create a complete FileNet P8 version 5.2 Platform and IBM Case Manager 5.2 environment. The supporting software components include IBM DB2fi database server, IBM Tivoli Directory Server, and IBM WebSpherefi Application Server. 

The installation tool configures an IBM Case Manager development environment that can be used to create, deploy, and test solutions. After the automatic installation and configuration is complete, you must install the minimum required fix packs before you can begin to use the FileNet P8 and IBM Case Manager applications.
