This screen allows for selection of the software packages that will be installed when an environment is created. Packages are selected using one of two methods: Selecting sets of software by Bundle or choosing specific software through Detailed Package Management.
Bundles are sets of software packages which have been grouped together for a specific purpose. This might be because they are useful to a particular development role, such as Artist or Tester, or because the software has interdependent features. Multiple bundles may be selected at the same time.
The Bundles list is displayed on the left side of the screen. Click a bundle to select or deselect it, which will select or deselect all contained packages for installation. The Installation Summary on the right side of the screen indicates the packages that will be installed with the current selection, including the size of each package and the total download size for the installation.
The Details icon at the right of each selection opens the Bundle Contents for for that bundle, displaying the name and version of all included software packages.
The Select All check box selects or deselects all bundles in the list.
The contents of a bundle may change when multiple bundles are selected to ensure compatibility of all included software.
Selecting the Detailed Package Management link opens the package selection screen.
This screen allows for the direct selection of specific software versions from a list of those available. It is recommended for experienced users. Any packages belonging to bundles that have been selected, will automatically be set to install when leaving the bundle selection screen.
The screen is separated into three sections.
If any packages in the main package list have tags associated with them, the tag list is displayed. Selecting options from the list filters the package list so that it displays only packages that have the indicated tag. Selecting more than one tag displays only package that have all the selected tags. To remove a selected tag, click the selection again. To show or hide all tags in a particular category (such as Occupation), click the header.
The package list displays all packages that can be installed or modified, based on the selection of foundation and foundation version for the environment. In addition, it contains several features to assist in package selection.
The Installation Summary displays all packages to be installed when continuing the installation process. Additional icons indicate what actions are being performed on individual packages. For more information about these icons, see the following table.
