Ensure that you complete these prerequisite tasks before you set up developer toolkit on
a Linux environment.
Procedure
-
Install Docker version 18.x or later.
For more information about installing Docker
on Linux, see
Install Docker CE and
Orientation and setup.
Note:
- You must set up the developer toolkit environment on a Linux®-based environment as a nonroot user. To add the user to the
docker
group, see Manage Docker as a non-root user.
- Do not use a root user or set up the developer toolkit environment in the
/root directory.
After installation, ensure that you start Docker and verify that Docker is installed
correctly.
- Install Docker Compose version 2.x (tested on 2.23.0, 2.24 versions). For more
information about installing Docker Compose, see Overview of Docker
Compose and Install Docker Compose.
- It is recommended that you either stop or disable any native DB2®, WebSphere Application Server, Liberty, or MQ application services that are
running locally. These services might unnecessarily consume system resources and the port numbers
might conflict with the Docker Compose environment.
- On the host machine, add
mqserver
as a localhost in
your /etc/hosts file.
