Installation Requirements and Pre-Installation Tasks : Installation Requirements

Installation Requirements
Before you can run the installer on your Windows or Linux system, you must log in as a user with appropriate permissions, and your system must meet hardware and software requirements.
If you plan on installing in an existing installation environment, stop all processes that are using Java from TIBCO_HOME.
At the end of installation, the installer offers to launch TIBCO Configuration Tool. The tool allows you to create runtime objects such as an Administration server and perform other configuration tasks. Your environment must meet additional requirements to run the tool. See and .
Installation Account Requirements
To install on Microsoft Windows or on UNIX, you must have the appropriate privileges.
The privileges differ for the different platforms.
Microsoft Windows - Only users with administrator privileges can install . If you do not have administrator privileges, the installer exits. If you intend to install the product on a network drive, ensure that the account used for installation has permission to access the network drive.
UNIX - Any type of user—regular (non-root) user and super-user (root)—can perform installation. Use the same installer account to install all TIBCO products. A graphic environment such as CDE or X Windows is required to run the installer in GUI mode.
* For configuration, the user who runs TIBCO Configuration Tool must also have administrator privileges on the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service servers that you want to use in your TIBCO ActiveMatrix enterprise. If you do not have administrator privileges, additional set up allows you to perform configuration. See .
Hardware Requirements
Installation requires a substantial amount of system memory and disk space.
Review the system memory and disk space requirements before you start installation.
 
System Memory
A minimum of 2 GB of physical memory is required.
 
Disk Space
The installer requires space in the temporary directory before installation, and additional space in the temporary directory for running the installer. You must also make sure sufficient space is in the directory you want to use as the installation environment (TIBCO_HOME) directory.
* While performing installation, avoid running other processes that consume disk space in the installation environment directory. If another process consumes disk space while the installer is copying the files, the installer might fail and display a failure message.
If your system does not have sufficient free disk space in the default temporary directory, you can use the is:tempdir option when starting the installer to run the installer with a different temporary directory. For example:
TIBCOUniversalInstallerPlatform -is:tempdir \new_tmp
where \new_tmp has sufficient free disk space.
Software Requirements
Your system must meet the software requirements before you run the installer. Some software is required, and some software is optional. An external database is required for production systems but not during development.
Before you run the installer, you must make sure you are running on a supported platform. See the readme file for information about the supported operating system platforms and versions and about required patches.
You must also have required software installed. Unless indicated otherwise, see the readme file for the supported products and versions.
Several software components from TIBCO Software and from other vendors might be required for the software that you install before you install TIBCO Implementation Type for TIBCO Adapters. See the readme file for details about required versions.
You never install TIBCO Implementation Type for TIBCO Adapters standalone. Instead, you install TIBCO Implementation Type for TIBCO Adapters in the following ways.
Administrator component
Install the Administrator component on a machine on which an ActiveMatrix Service Grid or ActiveMatrix Service Bus Administrator profile has been installed.
Runtime component
Install the runtime component on a machine on which ActiveMatrix Service Grid or ActiveMatrix Service Bus has been installed with the runtime host profile, and on which one of the supported TIBCO Adapter products has been installed.
