Installation Prerequisites on UNIX

You must install TIBCO Runtime Agent and TIBCO Administrator before installing TIBCO Hawk.

Supported Platforms

See the TIBCO Administrator readme file for details about the supported UNIX platforms.

Prerequisite Software

See the TIBCO Administrator readme file for details about software requirements.

Permissions

TIBCO <version> products can be installed by a regular (non-root) user or by super-user (root). Different users can install the same product at different locations.

Windows Environment

A window environment such as CDE (that is, X Windows) is required to run the installer in GUI mode. It is not required for a console installation.

Memory Requirements for the Administration Server

The machine on which the TIBCO Administrator is installed should have a minimum of 1 gigabyte of system memory.

The heap size set in tibcoadmin_domain.tra (java.heap.size.max=512m) is set for a machine with 1GB of memory. If you have less memory, we recommend lowering the heap size. The idea is not to have (heap size) + (memory required by the operating system) > the memory of the machine.

Required Disk Space in Temporary Area

The installer launcher first extracts the JVM in a temporary directory and uses this JVM to launch itself. The size of the extracted JVM differs from platform to platform.

On UNIX platforms the following disk space is required in the temporary area:

•	On Solaris, 50 MB of free disk space in /var/tmp.

•	On HP-UX, 85 MB of free disk space in /var/tmp.

•	On AIX, 30 MB of free disk space in /tmp.

•	On Linux, 50 MB of free disk space in /tmp.

Required Disk Space in User's Home Directory

The user's home directory must at least have 250 MB of free disk space.
