Non-administrative user considerations
If installing IBM Integration Designer as a non-administrative or non-root user, you must have the DB2 server installed before you begin the installation. Remember the database details so that you can enter them during the installation.
The considerations described in this topic apply to any install scenario where you choose to install using the Typical install option. Profiles are created automatically when install using the Typical option.
To install as a non-administrative user, you have the following choices:
