Downloading the deployment manager

To download the container access key

1. Log in to EPD.
   You must log in with your BMC Support ID.

2. Select Product Downloads > Product Download Tool.
3. On the All Products tab, in the search box, search for the BMC Helix IT Operations Management OnPrem Containers product name.
4. Click the product version.
   Example: 25.3.01
5. To generate a token to access the container images, perform the following steps:
   1. In the product page, on the Product tab, click Container Access Product.
      Example: In the BMC Helix Innovation Suite OnPrem page, on the Product tab, click Container Access Product.
      
      A dialog box to generate Personal Access Token (PAT) is displayed.
   2. On the dialog box message to generate PAT, click here.
      
      You are navigated to the Docker UI with a user configured for you.
   3. Go to Settings > Personal access tokens.
      
   4. On the Personal Access tokens page, click Generate new token.
   5. In the Create access token section, specify the values for the following fields:

      Field	Description
      Access token description	Specify a description for the token that you want to generate.
      Expiration date	Select the expiry date of the token.
      Access permissions	Select the Read-only permission from the drop down list. Important: You have only read access to the BMC Helix repositories.

   6. Click Generate.
      A token is generated and displayed on the Copy access token page.
      
      Make sure you copy and save the token details. This token is required as a password to pull images from BMC DTR during the setup of a Harbor registry or when performing the installation.Information

      When you switch the organization to bmchelix by using the Docker personal drop-down menu on the Docker page to access repositories, you might encounter an error.  
      This is expected behavior, as the page is designed for managing tokens and not for accessing repositories.
      To access repositories, perform the following steps:

      1. On the Docker page, on the left navigation pane, click Hub, and then select Repositories.
         The Repositories page initially shows no repositories.
         2. To view the repositories, click Docker personal drop-down menu, and switch your account to bmchelix. 

To download the deployment manager and token

1. Log in to EPD by using your Support user ID and password.
   You might be prompted to complete the Export Compliance Form.
   If you are accessing this site for the first time, create a new EPD profile to specify the languages and platforms that you want to download. For assistance with EPD, see EPD site help.

2. Download the following installation files to the workspace directory:
   • BMC Helix OnPrem Container v25.2.00
   • BMC Helix Operations Management OnPrem v25.2.00 Utilities for Linux
     Or
     BMC Helix Operations Management OnPrem v25.2.00 Utilities for Windows
   • Checksum SHA256 for BMC Helix OnPrem Container v25.2.00
   • Checksum SHA256 for BMC Helix Operations Management OnPrem v25.2.00 Utilities
   • Container Access Key
     We recommend that you install the products or components from a local copy of the installation image and not from a network drive. Installing from a network drive can cause delays in completing the installation. 
     

3. The BMC Helix OnPrem Container v25.2.00 file contains the deployment manager helix-on-prem-deployment-manager-<release_version>.sh.

   To change the permission of the helix-on-prem-deployment-manager-<release_version>.sh file, run the following command:

   chmod a+x helix-on-prem-deployment-manager-<release_version>.sh

4. Run the following command to make the helix-on-prem-deployment-manager-<release_version>.sh file an executable:

   ./helix-on-prem-deployment-manager-<release_version>.sh

   For example:

   ./helix-on-prem-deployment-manager-25.2.00.sh
