The very first step of my DB2 adventure is, of course, the installation party. I would like to share a brief how to installation guide of DB2 on Mac.

FYI, there is already a PDF guide when you download DB2 Express-C package which I will mainly follow. However I will comment as first person experience with some extra useful comments and avoid useless details. So let's make it simple and fast but efficient.

First of all there are some pre-requisites:

• You have to be on Leopard ;
• You have to have root access ;

Ok now we can download the application. Once done, open a terminal and get ready to start.
