Before you begin

To install IBM watsonx Code Assistant™ for Z Understand (Z Understand) on Linux, use the Z Understand container package.

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

Download the Z Understand container .tar.gz archive file to your local file system.
For example, if you download the archive file to the /Downloads folder, the path to this archive file is /Downloads/wca4z-understand-<VERSION>.tar.gz.
Extract the Z Understand container by running the tar command in the Terminal. This command has the following input format:
```
tar –xf wca4z-understand-<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/wca4z-understand-<VERSION>.tar.gz –C /opt
```
This command creates the /opt/wca4z-understand 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/wca4z-understand folder:
```
cd /opt/wca4z-understand
```

You can now configure the Z Understand container, as it is explained in Configuring.
