You can install the Watson™ Query driver package on Windows by using the installer.

Before you begin

Before you try to connect to your Watson Query instance, verify that you have the prerequisites.

Procedure

  1. Run the downloaded executable file as an administrator.

    The default installation path of the driver package is Program Files\IBM\IBM DATA SERVER DRIVER.

  2. Optional: Add the bin subdirectory of the driver package installation directory to your %PATH% environment variable so you can run the db2cli command without specifying the full path to the executable file.

What to do next

To be able to connect your local applications or client tools to your Watson Query instance, configure your local environment.
