Install ContactManager with QuickStart

You can install ContactManager and use the provided H2 database for development or demonstration purposes.

Before you begin

These instructions assume that you have installed your Guidewire core application as described in Installing the QuickStart development environment.

If you have not already done so, create an installation directory for ContactManager.

This guide uses ContactManager as the directory name.
Extract the ContactManager Zip file into the ContactManager installation folder.
