Ummkay...but I don't see that explained anywhere. The installation instructions for miniconda don't explain it, nor do they mention the miniconda-py39-zos-2022-01-17.run thing. Point is, once I got to that page, the instructions didn't make it clear what I was to actually do, because of all the noise files.
Today when I went back to look at it, i got the download link (https://download.rocketsoftware.com/RLink/d/9C9CD54CCA6B40CAB00DEAED2E7EE515?__gda__=1729014452_89db61d80d5cc25db565acd37c2e2048) from the downloaded object in Firefox and visited that, which got me:
An error occurred while processing your request.
Reference #50.64392b17.1642691460.13ee40a
So I backed the URL off to
https://download.rocketsoftware.com/which got me a login page. From which neither my Rocket login nor my community login worked. So I had to go back to Googling "rocket downloads" and going through that 27-page process to finally get back to the downloads. Seems...messy and untested.
Cheers,

Hi Phil,
Thank you for questions.
>Shouldn't there be a miniconda-zos-1.3-yyyy-mm-dd.run ?
No, miniconda-<..>.run is a conda (package manager) installer, while appdev_manifest_<..>.txt describes the actual portfolio of ported tools. We intend to have AppDev releases every quarter (new versions of the products, security fixes), once installer is updated only in case of major changes. Their versions may occasionally match though.
>There also seem to be a bunch of older manifests--why?
The builds mentioned in the manifests are still available. So why they should be removed?
>miniconda-py39-zos-2022-01-17.run ?
This is Miniconda installer based on IBM Python 3.9.5.1. As it was mentioned before on the forum, we were working on IBM Python integration into Rocket Open AppDev portfolio. This and other changes will be announced soon.

The downloads for cURL include:
appdev_manifest_1.3.txt
appdev_manifest_1.2..1txt
but only
miniconda-zos-1.2.1-2020-12-23.run
Shouldn't there be a miniconda-zos-1.3-yyyy-mm-dd.run ?
There also seem to be a bunch of older manifests--why?
And what is
miniconda-py39-zos-2022-01-17.run ?
