Installing an IBM WebSphere MQ client on AIX
You can interactively install the IBM® WebSphere® MQ client for AIX® using smit.
Before you begin
About this task
IBM WebSphere MQ is supplied as a set of filesets that are installed using the standard AIX installation tools. The procedure uses the System Management Interface Tool (smit), but you can choose to use installp, geninstall or the web-based System Manager. You can select which components you want to install. The components and filesets are listed in Choosing what to install. You must install at least the Runtime and Client components.
This procedure installs IBM WebSphere MQ into the default location. If you want to install to a non-default location, you must use installp, see Installing an IBM WebSphere MQ client silently on AIX.

You can have only one primary installation on a system. If there is already a primary installation on the system, you must unset it before you can set another installation as the primary installation. For more information, see Changing the primary installation .MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH
/bin/setmqinst -i -pMQ_INSTALLATION_PATH
- You might want to set up the environment to work with this installation. You can use the setmqenv or crtmqenv command to set various environment variables for a particular installation of IBM WebSphere MQ. For more information, see setmqenv and crtmqenv.
