Installing the IBM Java SDK on a Linux or UNIX client

Follow these steps to install the IBM® Java™ SDK on a client computer running Linux® or AIX®.

  1. On the product DVD, go to the /collation directory and locate the .zip file for your operating system:
    • Linux: /collation/linux.zip
    • Linux on System z®: /collation/linuxS390.zip
    • AIX: aix.zip
  2. Extract the contents of the .zip file to a temporary location.
  3. Go to the dist/external/jdk directory of the location where you extracted the .zip file, and locate the .zip file containing the IBM Java SDK.
    The file name varies depending upon your operating system:
    • Linux: jdk-Linux-i686.zip
    • Linux on System z: jdk-Linux-s390.zip
    • AIX: jdk-AIX-powerpc.zip
  4. Extract the Java SDK .zip file to the appropriate location on the client computer.
    Refer to your browser documentation to determine the correct location; your browser might require a specific directory location in order to associate the Java runtime environment with the browser (typically /usr/lib/javxxx on Linux and UNIX systems).
  5. Close all browser windows and then reopen the TADDM launch page.
