How to get the software

As usual,  CD releases come with classic installation packages for all supported platforms, as well as container images in Docker container format.  For a complete list, refer to the Supported Platforms document.

Installation packages and preview keys are available from the WRC's Continuous Delivery Releases site or through the evaluation services website.

InterSystems IRIS Studio is available from the Components distribution page.

Container images for the Enterprise Editions of InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health and all corresponding components are available from the InterSystems Container Registry using the following commands:

• docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris:2022.2.0.368.0
• docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/irishealth:2022.2.0.368.0
• docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-arm64:2022.2.0.368.0
• docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/irishealth-arm64:2022.2.0.368.0

Container images for the Community Edition can also be pulled from the InterSystems Container Registry using the following commands:

• docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:2022.2.0.368.0
• docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/irishealth-community:2022.2.0.368.0
• docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community-arm64:2022.2.0.368.0
• docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/irishealth-community-arm64:2022.2.0.368.0

  IMPORTANT:

ARM and Intel platform containers are published under the same name. So on an Intel machine "docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris:1111.2.3.456.0" will return the intel image, on an ARM machine that same pull will return the ARM image automatically, without needing to have a special .../iris-arm image.

For a full list of the available images, please refer to the ICR documentation.

The build number for this developer preview release is 2022.2.0.368.0.
