To run an Interactive installation:

4. Transfer the package by binary FTP to the SAVF ZENDPHP7 in QGPL. This can be done by executing the following steps:
   1. Verify that FTP is running on your IBM i system by running the following command and looking for 'FTP' or '21' in the Local Port column:

   NETSTAT *CNN

   2. Open a command prompt and change directory to the directory that contains the files you extracted from the ZIP file.
   3. Run the FTP command, specifying the name of your IBM i system, e.g.:

   ftp IBM i_system_name/TCP address

   4. If requested, enter a valid user profile and password.
   5. Enter the bin command to specify a binary transfer.
   6. Transfer the save file to the IBM i system by running the following command:

   put zendphp7.savf qgpl/zendphp7

5. When the SAVF is loaded into the IBM i QGPL library, return to your 5250 session and run the following command:

RSTLICPGM LICPGM(7PHPZND) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/ZENDPHP7)

The Zend Server installation starts. You will be prompted to continue with the installation several times.
