1.2 Installing the SDK

The SDK is part of the Novell Developer Kit (NDK), and you can download it from the iManager SDK Web site. The SDK consists of binaries, sample code, and documentation components, which you can download in a single ZIP-compressed archive file or as separate ZIP files. You can also view the documentation on the NDK site.

To install an SDK component, use an unzip utility to decompress the contents of the ZIP file to a directory of your choice. The proper organization of the SDK files on your hard drive is essential for the SDK to work properly; therefore, when you unzip the files, make sure that you select the options that will append the path of each file, as stored in the archive, to the output directory. On Linux, make sure that you also preserve permissions.

The directory where you install the SDK files is referred to as SDK_HOME in this documentation.
