NOTE: it is a blog following the one "Installing TCR 3.1 with non-root user" (https://www.imwuc.org/blog/making-your-life-easier-installing-tcr-3.1-with-non-root-user) although you can use it to install a DB2 database easily to be used with any other IBM product.
1. Once the package , DB2_ESE_10_Linux_x86-64.tar.gz , is downloaded from passport Advantage page and uncompressed (gunzip command). we run with root user the:
./db2setup
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Previously we may run the db2prere script:
./db2prereqcheck –v 10.1.0.0
To check if our hardware/software pass the prerequisites.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
it will open this windows:
2. Click on “install a product” + “install New” :
3. In the next screens we are going to set the path installation, create the “dasusr1” user, create a db2 instance and single partition instance.
4. Now we create the owner of the instance: db2inst1 default + Next
5. Now appears a summary and click on “finish” to start the installation
6. Once the installation has finished we can validate the installation running the command : ./db2val
7. The last step is license the DB2 running with “db2inst1” the command:
./db2licm –a Db2ese_o.lic
