Installation procedure

Before you start the installation procedure, make sure that you have prepared your system as described in Preparing for installation.
This installation procedure uses the pkgadd program, enabling you to choose which components you want to install. The components (or filesets) are listed in WMQ Components; you must install at least the Client component.
  1. Log in as root.
  2. Mount the WebSphere® MQ Client CD-ROM.
  3. Change to the Solaris directory corresponding to the type of client you are installing, MQClient or MQClientwithSSL.
  4. Run the mqlicense.sh script to accept the license:
     ./mqlicense.sh
    The license is displayed. If you accept the license, the installation continues. If you do not accept the license, you cannot continue the installation process.
  5. To start the installation process, enter the following, for example for a WebSphere MQ client without the WebSphere MQ SSL support:
     pkgadd -d packagename
  6. You are presented with a list of the packages that are available. Enter the number of the mqm package.
  7. You receive a number of messages, after which a list of components is displayed. Enter the numbers of the components that you require separated by spaces or commas.
  8. Answer y to the other questions.
  9. A message tells you when installation is complete. Enter q to exit the pkgadd program.
