The easiest way to install DVT is from one of the distributions available on dvteclipse.com. Download the distribution matching your operating system. Unzip the downloaded file.

Set the DVT_HOME environment variable to point to the unzipped dvt_eclipse folder. Open the Environment Variables dialog using:

1. Right-click on My Computer
2. Properties
3. Advanced System Settings
4. Advanced tab
5. Environment Variables
6. Add a new User Variable

If you're using DVT with a local license, then set the DVT_LICENSE_FILE variable to the license file path.

If you're using a license server, then set DVT_LICENSE_FILE as FLEXLM and DVTLMD_LICENSE_FILE as port_number@license_server.

Now you can start DVT using the dvt.bat script.
