Installation Overview
Before proceeding with the actual installation, you must get familiar with installation modes, installation types, prerequisites, and profiles.
Installation Modes
Three installation modes are available: GUI, console, and silent.
In the GUI mode, the installer presents panels using which you can select a product, its location, and so on. To invoke the installer in the GUI mode, double-click the executable.
You can use the Console mode to run the installer from the command prompt or terminal window. This is useful if your machine does not have a GUI environment.
You can use the silent mode to install the product using either default or custom settings that are saved in a response file. The silent mode installs the product without prompting you for information.
Installation Types
Two installation types are available: Profile or Custom.
- The Profile installation type installs all the software for a specific profile.
- The Custom installation type enables you to select components.
Installer Log File
The installer log file,
tibco_universal_installer.
username
_install.log
, is written to the
.TIBCO/install_
timestamp
folder of the user’s home directory.
To change the location of the installer log file, specify the option
-V logFile=
"myLogFile
" when you run the installer.
The installer log file captures the following information:
- Installation environment details such as the user that invoked the installer, host name, Java home in the environment, operating system details, and so on
- List of assemblies installed
