From IBM® MQ 9.2.1, you can upgrade an IBM MQ installation on Linux® systems without uninstalling the earlier version. The version that you are upgrading from must be IBM MQ 9.2.0, or later, and no fix packs can be installed for the earlier version. That is, the fix pack number in the version.release.modification.fixpack (V.R.M.F) release identifier must be 0. You can use rpm, a Debian installer on Linux Ubuntu, or the yum installer on Linux Red Hat®.
