Installation Instructions

Instructions are provided in "readme" files that are included in the download packages.

Download Package

The Remote API Client is not available as a separate downloadable fixpack. The 6.2.3 version of the Remote API Client is not being updated; all maintenance is applied to the 6.4 version of the Remote API Client, and all users are recommended to update to that version of the client.
For the CS Linux Server, you can update an existing installation by applying the fixpack, or you can download the refresh version of the install media to perform a full install. The media refresh packages require Passport Advantage entitlement for access.
CS Linux is for i686, x86_64, and ppc64.
CS Linux on System z is for zSeries.
