Installing Websphere on zLinux System - how to install and where to get installation files from?

  • 1.  Installing Websphere on zLinux System - how to install and where to get installation files from?

    Posted Mon April 28, 2025 09:35 AM

    I am trying to install a Websphere on a zLinux system from scratch
    I couldn't find any websphere installation manager build - specifically for the zLinux, from the internal download dashboard (DSW),
    the only one I found was for z/OS - which I suspect i different from zLinux.
    Could you please clarify or share the process of installing Websphere on zLinux if you are aware of the same ?

    Looking for Websphere 9.x.x

    If you have access to passport advantage you will find all licensed software there. If you do not have access then maybe someone in your org has access to it to download software.

    You install the same way you do in other linux platforms.

    1. Install Installation Manager (IM)
    2. Use IM to install WAS

    To download you use Passport advantage as Brian explained before.
