Installing ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks on UNIX
After unpacking the software and accepting the license agreement, you can choose to perform a typical install or custom install.
- A typical install has minimal prompts and installs standard components in default locations.
- A custom install prompts you to choose which pieces of the product suite to install and installs only those components.
If you are installing for the first time, you must specify the installation directory where the products in this product suite is installed. The default installation directory depends on who performs the installation:
-
For root users, the default installation directory is
/opt/tibco
. -
For non-root users, the default installation directory is
/
<myhome>
/tibco
, where<myhome>
is the home directory of the user. -
If installing ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks on AIX, use a non-root user account.
