How do I install the cask?

Installing this cask means you have accepted the license at: https://ibm.biz/mqdevmacclient

If you accept these license terms, then you may proceed with the install by running the command:

brew install ibm-messaging/ibmmq/mqdevtoolkit

If you do not accept these license terms then do not install. If you do not accept these license terms but have already installed, then uninstall the cask by following the uninstall instructions.

Post install - setting up your environment

To make it easier to use the devtoolkit, you might want to:

add the /opt/mqm/bin directory to your PATH environment variable e.g.,:

export PATH=/opt/mqm/bin:"$PATH"

add locations of the bin directories /opt/mqm/bin and /opt/mqm/samp/bin to the PATH by editing /etc/paths

set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH e.g.,:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/mqm/lib64

How do I uninstall the cask?

brew uninstall ibm-messaging/ibmmq/mqdevtoolkit

How do I find upgrade for the cask?

Check for an update

brew update

If an upgrade is available, then you can install it.

brew upgrade ibm-messaging/ibmmq/mqdevtoolkit

What's the other cask?

The eagle eyed of you will notice that there is a second cask devtoolkit. We changed the name to mqdevtoolkit to make it stand out when you run the command brew list. If you have the cask with the old name installed, remove it by running the command

brew uninstall ibm-messaging/ibmmq/devtoolkit

We will remove the old cask in a later release to allow you to migrate to the new cask.
