Ensure that the following conditions are met before you begin installing the content:

You must have downloaded the content installation files from the BMC Electronic Product Distribution (EPD) website.
You must have the repository installed and running, as described in Installing the repository.
The computer from which you run the installation program must have network access to the repository computer.

Important

To install content packages earlier than version 20.15.01, complete the following steps:

Navigate to the AO_HOME/tomcat/conf directory and edit the server.xml file.
Look for the following line in the file and append the sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1,TLSv1.1,SSLv2Hello" attribute to the line that starts with <Connector SSLEnabled="true".
It should look like the following example:
<Connector SSLEnabled="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8" clientAuth="false" maxThreads="150" port="28080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="https" secure="true" sslProtocol="TLS" sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1,TLSv1.1,SSLv2Hello"/>
