(Ep. 01) – Db2 Developer Ed. Installation and Basics

In this episode we will discuss Db2 Developer Edition, how it is different than past editions, and docker’s new role in the process. I will go through a basic download and installation process, where to check for errors, and the very basics to help you light up a sample database.

Note: This installation is a dockerized version of Db2 Developer Edition on Mac Sierra OS. Many of the concepts will carry over to whichever OS installation you use.
