Getting Started with DB2 Express v9.7電子ブックに記載されているすべてのステップを実行し、DB2 Express-Cを私のMacにインストールしました。.
Installation of IBM DB2 Express-C is pretty straight forward using the GUI installer (db2setup) included on the package. The installer also has included a nice pdf instruction on how to install the database but according to what i experience following those sequence of steps it did not work for me having Snowleopard Mac OS X 10.6.2 version and , maybe some other version might work. And i also notice on the included read me and pdf instruction there are module/apps dependencies that are not mention. So if you want to install DB2 Express-C beta(at this time of writing) for Mac OS X, version 9.5.2 on your Snowleopard 10.6.2 below tutorial will work.
1. Download the Tools and the Database.
- IBM DB2 Express-C 9.5.2 --> http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/db2/express/download.html
- xCode from Apple Development Community --> http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/
2. Install first the xCode.
3. Prepare the Mac OS for DB2.
- Click on the 'download license' button to obtain the license file immediately and save to your desktop. Alternatively an auto e-mail will be sent to the registered users e-mail address with a link to their OpenLink Data Space (ODS) where all trial and full license files will be stored in the Briefcase for download at a later date.
- There was a brief period in 2009 when IBM provided a macOS implementation of Db2 Express-C v9.7 on Mac OS X, but many of the tools were not included and running a back-level version doesn't do much good over time. So, even when I could run a native Db2 server on my machine, I still ended up maintaining a Linux instance as well.
- DB2 on Mac natively. Here are the current instructions for installing DB2 10.1 on Mac OS X, courtesy of my colleague Kevin Rose: Instructions to install DB2 v10.1 on Mac OS X Yosemite: Prerequisite: XCode developer tools must be installed. These can be installed from the Mac App Store.
- Here are the steps I did to install db2 express C on Mac OSX Mavericks. Note: I did all the commands logged into my own user; when I needed to run as a different user, I used sudo.
- we need to tweak some resources on the OS.
Open /etc/sysctl.conf (or create it doesn't exist) and insert the following settings. These settings increase some settings for shared memory and user limits that DB2 needs in order to work on Mac.
Add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf
kern.sysv.shmmax=1073741824
kern.sysv.shmmni=4096
kern.sysv.shmall=1179648
kern.maxfiles=65536
Save the file and reboot your computer. You don't need to reboot after you install DB2, only after you increase the System Parameters.
- It also require Java version 1.6
The graphical installation of DB2 for Mac OS X requires Java 1.6 and expects to find it in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home . If you do not have Java 1.6 on your computer, you can install it by running the Software Update on your computer and installing the latest updates. By default Snowleopard comes with 1.6 version of Java.
If you do not want to upgrade to the latest level of Java, DB2 can also be installed using the db2_install / db2icrt scripts.
4. Extract/Unpack the db2exc_952beta_MAC_x86_64.tar.gz on your desired directory.
> tar xvzf db2exc_952beta_MAC_x86_64.tar.gz
check the directory exp where the extracted file placed. you should have the same file like below.* it is recommended to read the readmefirst.txt and db2exc_guide_952_MAC_x86_64.pdf file found on this directory.
