Before starting the installation procedure, review the topics in this section to determine that your system meets the basic requirements and that you have the prerequisite software installed.
The installer launcher first extracts a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in a temporary directory and uses this JVM to launch itself. The size of the extracted JVM differs from platform to platform.
If your system does not have sufficient free disk space in the above temporary area, you can still run the installer with a different temporary area by using the following option when starting the installer:
where the /new_tmp directory has sufficient free disk space.
On UNIX platforms, when a regular (non-root) user installs a TIBCO product, the installation registry (two VPD files) is maintained in the user's home directory. As more products are installed, entries are added into these VDP files.
Before you can install the adapter, you must install the TIBCO Runtime Agent. If you use the Typical TIBCO Runtime Agent installation, the TIBCO Runtime Agent installer places all of its libraries and other products required by the adapter into the
TIBCO_HOME directory, which is the user's home directory.
During adapter installation, the adapter installer checks for the availability of all required products. If any are not available, the installer immediately exits. When all products are available, installation will proceed.
