As explained in the Introduction, the recommended way to install features is using the component manager. You can also manually provision Carbon by dropping bundles and configuration files that belong to a feature. This method is not recommended because it is complex and error prone. WSO2 has Equinox P2 integrated with its products. It enables user-friendly provisioning capabilities using the component manager explained below.

 

Note

When using Windows, you may not be able to install features using the management console if the '-Dcarbon.home' property in the product start up script (wso2server.bat) was not pointing to the directory where the product is installed. For example, -Dcarbon.home=C:\Users\VM\Desktop\wso2as-5.2.1.
