Installing the Db2 driver package on Windows

You can install the driver package on Windows using the installer.

Before you begin

Download the Db2 driver package for your operating system from the web console.

Procedure

  1. Run the downloaded executable file as an administrator.

    The default installation path of the driver package is: Program Files\IBM\IBM DATA SERVER DRIVER.

  2. [Optional] Add the bin subdirectory of the driver package install directory to your %PATH% environment variable (so you can run the db2cli command without specifying the full path to the command executable.)

What to do next

To be able to connect your local applications or client tools to your Db2 database, configure your environment for your Db2 database.
