Click Browse to navigate to the directory where the product_tibco_eclipse_lgpl_4.7.1.001 assembly that was previously downloaded is stored. Select the assembly and click Open. See Downloading Software Assemblies if No Internet Access is Available.
    5. On Linux, if you install TIBCO Host software and the product_tibco_eclipse_lgpl_rcp_4.4.2.001 assembly is not in the assemblies subdirectory of your temporary directory, the LGPL Assembly Download screen displays. Select a download option:

    Administration Includes TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator, Mediation Runtime, and supporting documentation for each product. Install this profile to create TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator servers on the machine.
    Runtime Host Includes TIBCO Host software and supporting documentation. Install this profile to create TIBCO Host instances on the machine.
    SOA Development Includes TIBCO Business Studio, Composite Editor, Mediation Flow Editor, binding and implementation type editors, and supporting documentation. Install this profile to develop TIBCO ActiveMatrix applications on the machine.

    The installer prompts if the features are already installed on the target system. Reinstalling features is not usually recommended.
  11. On the Pre-Install summary screen, verify the list of products selected for installation, and click Install.
  12. (Optional) Select Launch Configuration Tool to start the configuration process after installation (for example: create TIBCO Host or Administrator server instances). If you want to configure the product later, you can skip this step for now.
    Note: To launch TIBCO Configuration Tool later, execute TIBCO_HOME/amx/<version>/bin/TIBCOConfigurationTool. Alternatively, you can also execute TIBCO_HOME/tct/<version>/bin/TIBCOConfigurationTool.
