Download and install the Administration Utility from the Spectrum Technology Platform
Home page. This topic also describes how to connect to the Spectrum Technology Platform server.
Note: The Administration Utility requires Java 8 or later. Verify that Java 8 is in the
system's path before running the Administration Utility.
If you are reinstalling an existing installation of the Administration Utility, first back up the cli.properties file if it exists and any other CLI configurations. These are located in the same folder in which the CLI files are located. Add the backed up file and other configurations to the updated CLI after you reinstall the Administration Utility.
