  2. Ensure that there is at least 150 MB of free space in the /opt file system.
  3. From the directory where the installation package file is extracted, go to the gtk directory.
  4. Download the RPM files to the current working directory from the IBM AIX® Toolbox for Linux® Applications website by issuing the following command:
