$ wget -T5 -q -O mqadv_dev915_linux-x86-64.tar.gz https://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/websphere/messaging/mqadv/mqadv_dev915_linux_x86-64.tar.gz

$ ./mqlicense.sh -text_only -accept

$ rpm -Uvh MQSeriesAMQP-*.rpm MQSeriesAMS-*.rpm MQSeriesBCBridge-*.rpm MQSeriesClient-*.rpm MQSeriesGSKit-*.rpm MQSeriesJava-*.rpm MQSeriesJRE-*.rpm MQSeriesRuntime-*.rpm MQSeriesSamples-*.rpm MQSeriesSDK-*.rpm MQSeriesServer-*.rpm MQSeriesSFBridge-*.rpm MQSeriesXRService-*.rpm

Create the Queue Manager

$ . /opt/mqm/bin/setmqenv -n Installation1
$ /opt/mqm/bin/crtmqm -lc -lf 65535 -lp 3 -ls 2 -u SYSTEM.DEAD.LETTER.QUEUE QMLAB1
$ /opt/mqm/bin/strmqm QMLAB1

Create base objects within the Queue Manager

$ . /opt/mqm/bin/setmqenv -n Installation1
$ /opt/mqm/bin/runmqsc QMLAB1 << EOF

ALTER QMGR MAXMSGL(4194304)
ALTER QL(SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE) MAXMSGL(4194304)
DEFINE LISTENER(QMLAB1.LISTENER) TRPTYPE(TCP) CONTROL(QMGR) PORT(1414)
START LISTENER(QMLAB1.LISTENER)
DEFINE CHANNEL(QMLAB1.SVRCONN) CHLTYPE(SVRCONN) MCAUSER('mqm') MAXMSGL(4194304) DESCR('Channel for incoming clients')
DEFINE QL(ORDER.INPUT)

end
EOF

Test sending and receiving a message

$ printf "%s\n\n" TestMessage1 | /opt/mqm/samp/bin/amqsput ORDER.INPUT QMLAB1
$ /opt/mqm/samp/bin/amqsget ORDER.INPUT QMLAB1

Uninstall steps

1. Stop the running Queue Manager
2. Delete the created Queue Manager
3. Uninstall the IBM MQ RPMS

$ . /opt/mqm/bin/setmqenv -n Installation1
$ /opt/mqm/bin/endmqm QMLAB1
$ /opt/mqm/bin/dltmqm QMLAB1
$ yum -y erase MQSeriesAMQP MQSeriesAMS MQSeriesBCBridge MQSeriesClient MQSeriesGSKit MQSeriesJava MQSeriesJRE MQSeriesRuntime MQSeriesSamples MQSeriesSDK MQSeriesServer MQSeriesSFBridge MQSeriesXRService
