Start the DB2 Setup wizard to define
your installation preferences and to install IBM® Data Studio components.
Before you begin
Before you start the
DB2 Setup wizard:
- Ensure that the computer where you are installing IBM Data Studio meets
the installation, memory, disk, and user privilege requirements. For
details, see Installation requirements in the IBM Data Studio Information
Center.
- Ensure that the computer where you are installing IBM Data Studio has
an internet connection. If an internet connection is not possible,
you must download this tool to the computer.
- Ensure you have a supported browser installed.
- Ensure that the DB2® database
product image is available on the computer. You can obtain a DB2 installation image either by
purchasing a physical DB2 database
product DVD, or by downloading an installation image from Passport Advantage®.
- If you are installing a non-English version of a DB2 database product, you must have the appropriate
National Language Packages.
- Ensure that you have installed X Linux software
capable of rendering a graphical user, the X Linux server is running, the DISPLAY variable
is defined. The DB2 Setup wizard is a graphical
installer.
- If you are using security software in your environment, you must
manually create required DB2 users
before you start the DB2 Setup wizard.
Restrictions
- You cannot have more than one instance of the DB2 Setup wizard
running in any user account.
- The DB2 Setup wizard fields do not accept
non-English characters.
Procedure
To install the IBM Data Studio using
the DB2 Setup wizard:
- If you have a physical DB2 database
product DVD, change to the directory where the DB2 database product DVD is mounted by entering
the following command:
cd /dvdrom
where /dvdrom represents
the mount point of the DB2 database
product DVD.
- If you downloaded the DB2 database
product image, you must extract and untar the product file.
- Extract the product file:
gzip -d product.tar.gz
where product is the name of the product
that you downloaded.
- Untar the product file:
tar -xvf product.tar
where product is
the name of the product that you downloaded.
- Change directory:
cd ./product
where product is
the name of the product that you downloaded.
Note: If you downloaded
a National Language Package, untar it into the same directory. This
will create the subdirectories (for example ./nlpack)
in the same directory, and allows the installer to automatically find
the installation images without prompting.
- Enter the ./db2setup command from the
directory where the database product image resides to start the DB2
Setup wizard.
- Click Install Data Studio Components and
the Install Data Studio Components window displays
the products available for installation.
- To install the IBM Data Studio
client and
the IBM Data Studio web console,
click Install. The IBM Installation
Manager is called and downloads the IBM Data Studio components.
- Follow the installation wizard to install
the IBM Data Studio components.
