# Installation Guide

### Installing standalone

Installing a VisualAge Smalltalk standalone development environment consists of two steps. The first step is to install the VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise - Library Manager. Then you install the VisualAge Smalltalk Client.

#### Installing the library manager

The library manager holds your VisualAge Smalltalk source code. The VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Library Manager should be installed before installing VisualAge Smalltalk Client. For a standalone development environment, you install the library manager on your local machine and connect to the repository using File I/O access, or you can use EMSRV if it is supported on your operating system. You will need to use EMSRV if you want to start more than one image connected to the same repository. This section covers installing the library manager for standalone development using File I/O access.

To install the VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise - Library Manager, do the following:

1. Begin installation based on your operating system's installation start-up instructions. For more information, see Installing VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Version 6.0 on Windows and OS/2.
   Note:
     For late breaking information, click on the View Readme push button.
2. Read the License Agreement. If you agree to the terms and conditions, select Accept. Otherwise, select Decline and exit the installation program.
3. On the Select Features window, do the following:
   1. On the Select Features window, the VisualAge Smalltalk Library Manager feature will be checked. If you do not have enough space for the installation, you must exit the installation and make enough space available.
   2. Check to make certain that the destination folder is correct. If you wish to change the default, click the Browse push button and change the location by either clicking on a new folder or directly typing the directory in the entry field. Click OK.
   3. Verify that you have enough space for the installation.
   4. Click Next to continue.
4. You will now be asked to complete the installation. Verify that all of the information is correct and click Next. The product will now install.
5. When the installation is complete, click Finish to end the install program or View Readme to view the `readme` file.

#### Installing the client

Before installing a VisualAge Smalltalk Client, you need to know some information about where the library manager is installed. For a standalone install, the library manager is installed on your local machine. Clients must be installed on a drive that is formatted HPFS.
