Installing WebObjects

You must have the Apple developer tools installed in order to install WebObjects. Both WebObjects and the Apple developer tools are available from the Downloads page linked from the Apple Developer Connection homepage (http://connect.apple.com). If you already have WebObjects installed, ensure that you are using the latest update of WebObjects and read any release notes regarding the update. You do not need to download separate WebObjects updates if you are running Mac OS X Server, because WebObjects updates are included in operating system updates downloaded with Software Update. Apple developer tools updates are not included in Mac OS X Server updates, however, so you should still ensure that you have the latest version of the Apple developer tools.
