This section provides information about installing and configuring WCM in your environment. Depending on your environment and intended deployment, you can choose one of the following:

•Manual Deployment — if you want a non-server environment and intend to create configuration files that thin client systems can access locally to update themselves manually using the Import feature of the WCM Client Control Panel applet on the thin client system.
