Hardware Requirements

The installation requires a substantial amount of system memory and disk space.

Review the system memory and disk space requirements before you start installing.

System Memory

A minimum of 4 GB (8 GB recommended) of physical memory is required.

Disk Space

The installer requires some space in the temporary directory before installation, as well as additional space in the temporary directory for running the installer. You must also make sure that the directory you want to use for the installation environment (TIBCO_HOME) has sufficient space.

Note: While installing, 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 with an error.
Directory Disk Space Requirement
Temporary directory before installation

For example, c:\temp

Before you start the installation, you need this space to download the installer archive file. The installer archive file can consume up to 990 MB of disk space.
Temporary directory during installation

For example, c:\temp\amx340

This is the directory where you must extract the installer archive file so that you can later execute the Universal Installer. The installer requires at least 275 MB of free space in the temporary directory.

On Microsoft Windows, the default temporary directory location is %SystemDrive%:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp.

If your system does not have sufficient free disk space in the default temporary directory, you can use the is:tempdir option to run the installer with a different temporary directory. For example:

TIBCOUniversalInstallerPlatform -is:tempdir \new_tmp

where \new_tmp is the directory that has sufficient free disk space.

Installation environment directories The installer calculates the disk space required in the installation environment directory for the selected components. The calculation is done before the actual installation (copying of files to system) begins. The installer proceeds only if sufficient free disk space is available in the installation environment directory. A TIBCO ActiveMatrix product might consume 1GB of free space under TIBCO_HOME.
