Hi All,

So I am looking forward to having a standalone Maximo instance on my local computer. There is one i got from a comrade which I run by opening the package with a Virtual Machine (VMWare) and runs on Linux. I wonder how this was done and also want to know if there can be a windows version of that?

As a rule, distributing a VM with Maximo on it cannot be done on Windows -- due to licensing constraints and concerns. That said, you may be able to create a Windows VM with Hyper-V on your own machine and install a properly licensed Maximo 7.6.1.x. And that said, I understand Maximo 8 is only supported on RedHat OpenShift (Linux).

Apart from using VMWare, which has licensing restrictions, you may consider using a docker image.  Yasutaka Nishimura has a great GitHub repo here nishi2go/maximo-docker: IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.6 Docker Repository (github.com) that can help you create a Maximo Docker image. 

If you have questions about doing this I am happy to answer your questions.

For MAS 8 there currently isn't a great stand alone developer solution.  The best I have found is using Digital Ocean, but the costs are still about $800/month for sufficient hardware and storage to run the infrastructure.  But, if you are interested I have a three part step by step series on doing the install on our blog here: Sharptree | Blog | MAS 8: Installing OKD

Hi Docktor,

Since you haven’t mentioned about which Maximo version I am assuming it’s not MAS 8.0 since it’s a different ball game anyways.

If you are looking for a local setup of Maximo 7.X and if you have a valid license you can install Weblogic in your local computer. Then all you need is the SMP folder and the ear file to run Maximo( assuming you want to do development or POC).

Depending on the DB you want to setup you can setup DB client in your local and build and deploy Maximo and bring up the server.

You need a minimum of 32GB 64 bit Windows computer for you to comfortably run Maximo. Higher RAM is always beneficial.
Scripts to import DB and create Maximo schema are available in internet.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Venkat
