There are no installers for Remedy ITSM applications after version 18.05. To perform a fresh installation of Remedy ITSM, you need to first install ITSM and other applications using version 18.05 installers and then apply the latest deployment packages. This approach results in a significantly faster and easier upgrade.

Truly it'd be wise to include a link to this ITSM FAQ for installing process designer somewhere on this page: https://docs.bmc.com/docs/itsm1805/frequently-asked-questions-on-bmc-remedy-itsm-process-designer-804711254.html
This FAQ suggests multiple options for when to install Process Designer. The statement "Perform the application installations in the order as specified in the following table." on this document page is incorrect as there are other options. If installed in the order listed, you are making the Process Designer a stand alone module as the install gives warnings that it will not be integrated with ITSM and SRM.
Thank you for your feedback on the documentation. We have fixed the order in the table. The link to the Process Designer installation FAQs is already added on the Installing BMC Remedy ITSM Process Designer page.
