Installing from an electronic software download

It is possible to install the UNIX WebSphere MQ Clients from an installation image downloaded from the IBM download site. The installation image is provided as a compressed tape archive (tar) file. Follow these steps to install from the tar file:

1. Copy the WebSphere MQ tar file to a suitable directory accessible to the machines where the software is to be installed. This directory must be on a file system with at least the amount of free space indicated below (this is in addition to the disk space required for the product, as detailed in the appropriate section of Hardware and software requirements).

   MQ60Client_solaris.tar	120MB
   MQ60ClientSSL_solaris.tar	20MB
   MQ60Client_hpux.tar	70MB
   MQ60ClientSSL_hpux.tar	190MB
   MQ60Client_aix.tar	40MB
   MQ60ClientSSL_aix.tar	110MB
   MQ60Client_LinuxIntel.tar	250MB
   MQ60ClientSSL_LinuxIntel.tar	310MB
   MQ60Client_LinuxzSeries.tar	85MB
   MQ60ClientSSL_LinuxzSeries.tar	140MB

2. Make this directory the current directory and use the command:

   tar -xvf .tar to create the installation image.

   When the command completes, we can delete the tar file

3. Follow the instructions given in the appropriate section of this chapter to install and configure the product. Replace any references to the CD drive by the directory used in the steps above. All other instructions remain the same.
