== All operating systems ==

=== All products ===

You may need to set the JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables manually. Assuming that the installation binaries are in /install:

<pre>
export JAVA_HOME=/install/JDK/repository/prereq.jdk/java/jre;
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME:$PATH;
</pre>

=== WebSphere Application Server 6.1.x ===

For any unsupported operating systems, you should acknowledge the fact when installing graphically when prompted. When silently installing the product, the following lines should be placed in the response file:

<pre>
-OPT disableOSPrereqChecking="true"

# optionally, the following line may also be required
-OPT disableNonBlockingPrereqChecking="true"
</pre>

=== WebSphere Process Server 6.0.x ===

For unsupported operating systems, you will need to delete the pre-requisite checking file before installing WPS. Copy the WPS installation binaries to a temporary location, eg. /install and issue the following command:

<pre>
rm /install/JDK/repository/prereq.jdk/java/jre/bin/utetcf;
</pre>

== Ubuntu ==

[[WebSphere Application Server|WAS]] isn’t supported on [[Ubuntu|Ubuntu]], but works like a charm. Ubuntu is far quicker to install and configure than other Linux flavours, and has a much smaller footprint. All that’s required are a few minor configuration changes:

=== All versions ===

After installing Ubuntu (Desktop or Server), run the following commands:

<pre>
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
</pre>

This is because /bin/sh is not pointed to bash by default in Ubuntu and the WAS install scripts make the assumption that it is. Just select ‘no’ to re-point accordingly.

=== 7.04 Feisty Fawn, 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon ===

You will need to add the following packages:

<pre>
sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2 libgtk2.0-0 libstdc++5
</pre>

=== 8.04 Hardy Heron ===

You will need to add the following packages:

<pre>
sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
</pre>

== CentOS ==

[[WebSphere Application Server|WAS]] isn’t supported on [[CentOS|CentOS]], but will work as it does on RedHat Enterprise Linux. CentOS has the benefit of being a freely available enterprise OS without the paid subscriptions required by RedHat or Suse.

=== All versions ===

Pre-requisites apply as per RedHat Enterprise Linux, and WebSphere products must be instructed to ignore operating system check errors [[Unsupported operating systems#All operating systems|as above]].

You must also ensure some libraries are installed:

<pre>
yum install compat-libstdc++-33 compat-db libXp libXmu libXtst pam rpm-build elfutils elfutils-libs;
</pre>
