The procedure now presents information about software that you can install along with the OpenVMS operating system. Some of this software is required, as noted; some is optional. The procedure asks if you want to install the following HP windowing and networking software products:

The software that you choose to install (including the previously listed required software) will be installed along with the OpenVMS Alpha operating system. You can change the default values for these products later in the installation procedure.


NoteThe OpenVMS Alpha installation menu offers the choice to install DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS or DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS networking software. You cannot have both installed on your system at the same time. You can choose to install neither DECnet product; however, certain products that depend on DECnet might be affected.

After you have DECnet-Plus and TCP/IP installed on your system, you can run DECnet applications over your TCP/IP network. For more information on DECnet over TCP/IP, see the DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Network Management.
