Open Package Manager and click Upload Package to upload the package.
Select the package name and click Install.
Dialog on Package Manager UI sometimes exits immaturely during installation of 6.4.8.4
Therefore, it is recommended to wait for error logs to stabilize before accessing the instance. The user has to wait for specific logs related to uninstallation of updater bundle before being ensured that the installation is successful. It generally happens on Safari but can intermittently happen on any browser.
There are two ways to automatically install AEM 6.4.8.4 into a running instance:
A. Place the package into …/crx-quickstart/install folder while the server is running. The package gets installed automatically.
B. Use the HTTP API from Package Manager - make sure you use cmd=install&recursive=true
- so the nested package are installed.
AEM 6.4.8.4 does not support Bootstrap installation.
To determine the certified platform for running with this release of AEM Sites and Assets, see Technical Requirements.

AEM 6.4.8.4 contains new version of Dynamic Media viewers (5.10.1) which enables check for duplicate names on Image Preset page. Dynamic Media customers are advised to run the following command to bring out of the box viewer presets to an up-to-date state.
curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:4502/libs/settings/dam/dm/presets/viewer.pushviewerpresets
which will copy new viewer presets to /conf location.
Experience Manager Forms releases the add-on packages one week after the scheduled Experience Manager Cumulative Fix Pack release date.
