Installing ibm_db and ibm_db_dbi module

We are assuming that you have Python already installed. In Linux you may need the python-dev package (you can install python-dev package through "$yum install python-devel" if yum doesn't work then you can also install it through "$apt-get install python-dev")

Installation

  pip install ibm_db

This will install ibm_db and ibm_db_dbi module.

Your feedback is very much appreciated and expected through project ibm-db:

note: since 2.5.0.1 (Jan 1 2015) the install process was simplified to a single 'pip install' command. Hence all no longer relevant comments on this page have been marked as deleted
