You can have Db2 Text Search automatically configured, or you can manually configure it later. You need to be on the coordinating member or instance owning partition if you are creating a partitioned instance using the Db2 Setup Wizard.

Procedure

Install the Db2 server using the instructions for your platform:

- Installing DB2 servers using the DB2 Setup wizard (Linux® and UNIX)
You can select the Db2 Text Search component from the feature tree. During the installation, you have the option to configure Db2 Text Search for the default instance. If you do not want to configure Db2 Text Search, skip step 2.
