Plan considerations for installation on Multiplatforms

Before installing IBM MQ , you must choose which components to install and where to install them. You must also make some platform-specific choices.

Before you start installing, consider how you want to use IBM MQ and review the information in this section, and also the information in the general Plan section.

Note that HP Integrity NonStop Server uses a different installer from the other platforms, and a multi-installation layout.

When planning your installation, make sure that you check the hardware and software requirements for your system. For more information, see Where to find product requirements and support information.
