IBM manual Installation procedure for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, 182 DB2 Deployment Guide

Uncompress the download file, change to the newly created directory, and run the following command to install it on Linux, UNIX, and Windows:

ruby setup.rb

￿Rails:

You can install Rails from the command line if your system has Internet access by using the following command on Linux, UNIX, and Windows:

gem install rails --include-dependencies

Otherwise, download the latest Rails from: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=307

If you are installing Rails manually, install activerecord as well. It can be downloaded from:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/activerecord/

￿IBM Data Server Driver for CLI support:

The Ruby driver and Rails adaptor utilize CLI to communicate with DB2. If either IBM Data Server Client or IBM Data Server Runtime Client is present, this step is not required. Otherwise, IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI is required to access DB2 database. Alternatively, for Windows systems, you can use IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC, CLI, and .NET. Both are described in detail in 4.1.2, “IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC, CLI, and .NET, and IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI” on page 143.

Installation procedure for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

IBM DB2 version 9.5 Linux, UNIX, and Windows, IBM Data Server Client and IBM Data Server Runtime Client are shipped with IBM_DB gem files. Copy the gem file from <Path to sqllib>/sqllib/rubyxx (where xx is either 32 or 64). The gem file is named as ibm_db-xx.gem (where xx is the version of IBM_DB).

You can install IBM_DB gem on Linux, UNIX and Windows systems by issuing the following command:
