Download the adapter installation media from IBM® Passport Advantage®. You must correctly extract the contents of the compressed
files before you can install the software.

About this task
Important:
By default, the extraction tool included in Windows operating systems extracts
the contents of compressed files to <current directory of the
compressed file>/<name of compressed file>. (For example,
the contents of C:\temp\myfile.zip are extracted
into C:\temp\myfile.) Do not use this default
setting to extract the contents of each compressed file. Instead,
follow the steps in this topic.
On Linux platforms,
do not use the jar command to extract the package.
Use the unzip command.
- When you extract the contents of the compressed files, ensure
that you preserve the directory structure of the extracted contents.
- To avoid problems during adapter software installation and configuration,
do not use spaces in the file paths.
Procedure
Extract the installation files for the software. - Create a directory.
C:\temp\GIT_INSTALL_IMAGE
/tmp/GIT_INSTALL_IMAGE
- Extract the contents of the zip file that you downloaded
into the directory that you created in the previous step. Following the previous example, you now have the directory
C:\temp\GIT_INSTALL_IMAGE\GIT\Disk1
/tmp/GIT_INSTALL_IMAGE/GIT/Disk1
Results
You have extracted the installation files for the software.
