Installation steps on Windows, AIX, Linux, and Solaris

Note:
We strongly recommend that you uninstall any previous versions of WebSphere MQ Everyplace before installing or reinstalling this new version (see Uninstalling WebSphere MQ Everyplace). The installation program does not detect versions of the product prior to 1.2.4, and does not display any warnings.

At any time during the installation, click the Back button on a screen to take you back to previous screens and review or change information. To exit the install procedure and cancel the installation, click the Cancel button on any screen.

Notes:

  1. On Windows your user id must have administrator access, otherwise the Start Menu icons for IBM WebSphere MQ Everyplace may not appear.

  2. On AIX(R) you must be the root user to run the install sucessfully.

To install WebSphere MQ Everyplace:

  1. Insert the product CD into your CD-ROM drive.
  2. Start the installation in one of the following ways:
    1. From the platform specific launcher.

      The launchers are held in the platform named subdirectories on the product CD. To begin the installation process, run the correct launcher for your platform.

      Notes:

      1. If you copy the launcher to your local target machine, the setup.jar file must be copied into the parent directory of the directory in to which the launcher was copied. The launcher cannot be run from a root directory.

      2. If you run the install from a launcher and you see a message box with the text "No matching JVM was found" the installer was unable to find a Java environment to use. If you see this message you should use the setup.jar file for installation.

      3. To tell the launcher to use a specific JVM, use the following flag:
        setup.exe -is:javahome c:\jdk1.3
        

      4. To tell the launcher to use a specific directory to store temporary files, use the following launcher flag:
        setup.exe -is:tempdir c:\mytempdir
         
        
    2. From the setup.jar file :

      Change to the product CD directory where the setup.jar is stored and run the installation program using the Java command on your computer. This command is typically java, jre, or jview. For example:

      On Windows
      set classpath=.\setup.jar;%classpath% 
      jview run
      

      (If you use JVM 1.2.2 or higher, you can execute the jar file by double-clicking it.)

      On Linux, AIX, Solaris, and HP-UX
      CLASSPATH=./setup.jar:$CLASSPATH
      export CLASSPATH
      java run
      
  3. On the Welcome screen, confirm that you want to install the WebSphere MQ Everyplace program by clicking the Next button and then follow the prompts to complete your installation.
Note:
If you wish to reinstall the product we strongly recommend that you remove any existing installations (see Uninstalling WebSphere MQ Everyplace).
