How would you check if any software is installed on Linux? Do the same thing to check for the client.

Try reading the instructions 
In the end, looking things up yourself is much faster and more effective than posting simplistic questions to a bunch of strangers on the Internet who may decide to mislead you because it's a slow day in the office and they're not very nice people at the best of times, and you've got no recourse no matter how much distress they cause you......

How did you check that the MQ Server was installed? Follow the same process to check for the MQ Client.

The instructions for how to do that were in the link I provided:
more carefully

I wanted to check if i can execute "runmqsc" command remotely.
I got this link https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/messaging/entry/bitesize_blogging_mq_v8_client_mqsc?lang=en
Which says that we can execute "runmqsc" remotely.I tried to do the same, but i am not able to connect (I am using old MQ client)
export MQSERVER=SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN/TCP/myhost.mycorp.com(1414)
runmqsc -c -w 60 MYQMGR
I found another similar command in IBM center,
runmqsc -w 30 -m QMLOCAL QMREMOTE , here it says we need local queue manager to submit the command.
Can't i run this command without local queue manager if i don't want MQ server to be installed on my machine. |

It's almost as if it is only new versions of runmqsc that allow for client connections.

You can. In the version which that blogger is using and to which I provided the link. If you actually read the blog rather than look at it, you'll observe the quote:

| With MQ V8, runmqsc is now capable |
The emphasis is mine.

And given that this feature is new to v8, I'm not surprised.

You do indeed. Before the client capability was added in v8, runmqsc (unsurprisingly) used a binding connection.

Only in v8 or higher.

That may be because the client comes with it's own version of java...
If you need to use a client connection to submit mqsc style commands to a remote server, before V8, look at support pack MO72 (initially from Paul Clarke I believe)

If you have a v8 server install, the client is on the media and you don't need that link.
If you don't have a v8 server install, adding a v8 client will magically add the ability to understand remote commands to a lower level queue manager.

To answer the original question:
rpm -qa | grep MQSeriesClient
will show all installed MQ client packages.

We have v8 server installed on one linux machine, not sure what does this mean "the client is on the media"
Also, for installing client do we have to execute both runtime and client package. |

If you only want to install the client, you can only install the client package.
It used to be the case that you should install the client using the rpms that came in the same download as the server rpms.
I don't know if that's still true.

"...on the media" means that both client and server (and Explorer, and other stuff) are included in the distribution media (CD, DVD, electronic) used to install the product.

Hi mqjeff, I have installed MQ8.0.0.2 client in linux and trying to execute below command to connect to remote queue manager and execute "runmqsc" command on that qmgr
export MQSERVER=SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN/TCP/myhost.mycorp.com(1414)
runmqsc -c -w 60 MYQMGR
But, i am getting below message.
