Client Installation procedure

 

Before you start the installation procedure:

This installation procedure uses the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) installer, enabling you to choose which components you want to install. The components (or filesets) are listed in WebSphere MQ Components; install at least the Runtime and Client components.

  1. Log in as root.

  2. If you are installing from the CD-ROM, mount the CD-ROM file system, and change into the directory corresponding to the type of client you are installing, MQClient or MQClientwithSSL

  3. Run the mqlicense.sh script. If you want to view a text-only version of license, which can be read by a screen-reader, type: 
    ./mqlicense.sh -text_only
    The license is displayed.

    If want to accept the license without it being displayed, we can run the mqlicense.sh script with the -accept option. 

    ./mqlicense.sh -accept

    You must accept the license agreement before we can proceed with the installation.

  4. Use the rpm -ivh command to install each component that you require. For example: On x86 architecture, enter the following commands for a minimum installation: 
    rpm -ivh MQSeriesRuntime-6.0.0-0.i386.rpm MQSeriesClient-6.0.0-0.i386.rpm

    Ensure that /bin/sh is a valid shell interpreter compatible with the Bourne shell, otherwise the post-installation configuration of WebSphere MQ will not complete successfully.

    If your Linux machine was not installed with RPM, you might see a prerequisites failure of /bin/sh when you try to install WebSphere MQ. This is because the RPM tables do not recognize that a valid shell interpreter is installed.

    If this occurs, we can reinstall the /bin/sh shell using RPM, or specify the RPM option --nodeps to disable dependency checking during installation of WebSphere MQ.
