Chapter 3 Installation on UNIX Platforms : Installing the Adapter on UNIX

Installing the Adapter on UNIX
You can either download the adapter package or install the package from a CD. The installer prompts you to accept the license agreement, then to choose to perform a typical install or custom install.
The installer checks your system for the installation home directory that was established when TIBCO Runtime Agent was installed. The adapter is installed under the installation home directory.
Installer Account
TIBCO 5.x products can be installed by a regular (non-root) user and super-user (root). Different users can install the same product at different locations.
Product dependencies at installation time are resolved at the user level through the installation registry maintained at the user's home directory. See Installation Registry for more information.
Microsoft Windows Environment
A Windows environment such as CDE (i.e. X Windows) is required to run the installer in GUI mode. It is not required for a console installation.
Supported Platforms
The following table lists the platform-specific installation packages, where version_number is the Adapter release number. For example, the installation package name for the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Tuxedo 6.0.0 on the Solaris 8 platform using Tuxedo 6.5 is TIB_adtuxedo-suite_6.0.0_sol8_sparc_tuxedo65.bin.
Memory requirement for the adapter installation is around 256 MB. Your operating system must meet the minimum patch requirements listed next.

Installing the Adapter
You can use any of the following modes to install the adapter. Before proceeding with the installation, untar the installation package. The examples assume you are installing the adapter on Solaris 8.
Installing Using GUI Mode
A window environment such as CDE (for example, X Windows) is required to run the installer in GUI mode.
GUI mode performs the installation in an interactive graphical interface. The installer prompts you for values specific to your environment. Execute the installation program by typing the following in a terminal window:
% ./installation_package_name
Installing Using Console Mode
Console mode allows you to install the software in a console window. The installer prompts you for values. When installing in console mode you can move through the installation process as shown:
Execute the installation program by typing the following in a terminal window:
% ./installation_package_name -is:javaconsole -console
Installing Using Silent Mode with Default Values
This mode installs the adapter in a terminal window without prompting you for any information during installation. It installs the adapter using default values. Execute the installation program by typing the following in a terminal window:
 
% ./installation_package_name -silent
Installing Using a Response File
This installation is performed in a console window or a terminal window. The installer prompts you for information during installation and saves your answers in a response file. The response file can be used during subsequent installations to create another instance using the same values as the original installation, either with or without prompting for changes.
To install the software in a terminal window and generate a response file, type the following in a terminal window (note there is no space between -options and -record):
 
installation_package_name -options-record  responseFilepath
There is no space between -options and -record in the above command.
After generating a response file, you can use it to install the adapter in silent mode or interactive mode.
In silent mode, you are not prompted for values; the adapter is installed using the values in the response file. To install the adapter in silent mode using a response file, type the following in a terminal window:
installation_package_name -silent -options responseFilepath
In interactive mode, you are prompted for values during installation. The values in the response file are presented as suggested defaults. To install the adapter using a response file in interactive mode, type the following in a terminal window:
installation_package_name -options responseFilepath
