Installing the driver package on Windows

You can install the Data Virtualization driver package on Windows by using the installer.

Before you begin

Before you try to connect to your Data Virtualization instance, verify that you have the prerequisites.

Run the downloaded executable file as an administrator.

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

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