About this task

To install IBM Bob Premium Package for Z (Z Understand) on Linux, use the BobZ container (which includes Z Understand and Refactor Assistant) package.

Only one instance of BobZ container can be used on the same machine.

Procedure

Download the BobZ container (which includes Z Understand and Refactor Assistant) .tar.gz archive file to your local file system.
If you download the archive file to the /Downloads folder, the path to this archive file is /Downloads/bobz-<VERSION>-<PLATFORM>.tar.gz. For example: /Downloads/bobz-3.0.0-linux_s390x.tar.gz.
Extract the BobZ container by running the tar command in the Terminal. This command has the following input format:
```
tar –xf bobz-<VERSION>.tar.gz –C <EXTRACT_TO_FOLDER>
```
For example, to extract the Z Understand container to the /opt folder, enter the following command in the Terminal:
```
tar –xf ~/Downloads/bobz-<VERSION>.tar.gz –C /opt
```
This command creates the /opt/bobz folder on the local file system.
Navigate to the extracted folder in the Terminal.
For example, run the following command to navigate to the /opt/bobz folder:
```
cd /opt/bobz
```
