Updating a Multi-User IDE Installation

When you install or update a module using the Update Center wizard, the IDE places the module .jar file and docs in your user directory. If you are using a multi-user installation of the IDE, you can install a module globally so that the module is available to all users. The IDE places .jar files and docs for globally installed modules in your installation directory instead of an individual user directory.

To globally install a module:

  1. Download the module using the Update Center wizard.
  2. In the View Certificates and Install Modules pane of the wizard, select the Global? checkbox for the desired modules.
  3. Click Finish to install the module and restart the IDE.
tip In order to install a module globally, you must have write access to the IDE installation directory.
