For a standalone development environment, you install the library on your local machine and connect to the repository using either File I/O access or EMSRV access. You will need to use EMSRV if you want to start more than one image connected to the same library. To understand where the product is installed, refer to file locations. For directions on how to start EMSRV, refer to EMSRV for UNIX.
