You can Reinstall, Remover, Show the files associated with the package, and see Information on the package from this view.Įverything that runs in the Open Source Package Manager view can install on an IBM i that is not directly connected to the Internet. If you go back to Installed packages you can see the packages listed but first you will have to the View menu and hit Refresh. The installer will walk through installing the package and it should end with Complete!.Ĭongratulations! You have installed your first open source package (outside of installing the environment of course). If you agree to install type Y and hit enter. You will see a black window pop-up that will list the packages selected for Install and their dependencies. These are all of the open source packages vetted and ready for you to use by IBM over 300+ of them. I am going to install Node.js 12 and Node.js 14 because I am working with those packages.Ĭlick on the Available packages tab/button. NOTE: You can install any of the open source packages that you like from the list. Once the install is complete you will see the List of Installed packages.Ī complete walk-through on this process is here (this article is using an older version of ACS): Getting started with Open Source Package Management in IBM i ACS Step 3: Install an Open Source Package – Node.js 12 and Node.js 14 Once completed you will see a Command complete message, similar to this one: These are all used to setup a basic environment with the tools and resources you will need when working with open source.

This is a series of packages that IBM has put together to setup the yum package manager and about 50 other open source packages. Then the open source environment will be downloaded. The first thing that will happen at this point is that a script will be sent to your system (In my search I believe the script is bootstrap.sh and it gets added to the /tmp directory). On the next window, Install the open source environment hit Yes. When you click OK, you should be prompted to verify the authenticity of the SSH connection, hit Yes. If it does not have Internet you will be returned an error. This goes without saying but I will say it anyway: the computer you are running this on has to have access to the Internet for SSH Tunneling to work. NOTE: In my case I am going to use SSH Tunneling because the IBM i I am connecting to does not have direct access to the Internet.
According to the article it is not recommended to use QSECOFR with the SSH environment. When I have installed the open source environment I have done it as a profile with similar access to QSECOFR.

If you aren’t already running IBM’s new Access Client Solutions that runs on Java, you should be it’s fantastic. In addition to that I would like to welcome you to join our IBM i community on Slack: link here Step 1: Download and Install IBM i Access Client Solutions (or ACS) I welcome your questions, feedback, and comments. I am still learning and contributing to getting more documentation out there to spur the community on in taking advantage of all that IBM i has to offer. I would also like to highlight the things I have learned and the steps I have taken to get my environment up and running. What I hope to relay is how easy it is to get started using these versatile languages on the IBM i.
This is the first post in a series of posts that I am creating on using open source on IBM i.
