  1. Open the physical media or download the TIBCO ActiveSpaces® Transactions product package.

  2. Extract the TIBCO ActiveSpaces® Transactions product archive file to an empty temporary directory.

  3. Ensure that /usr/ucb is in your PATH on Solaris.

  4. Using a console window, navigate to the temporary directory that contains the universal installer and run the installer using of the following command lines:

    • TIBCOUniversalInstaller-x86-64.bin -console - Linux

    • TIBCOUniversalInstaller-sol-sparc.bin -console - Solaris

  5. Complete the installation by responding to the console window prompts, which are similar to those described in the GUI mode instructions.

Install in Silent Mode

The following procedure explains how to install the software in silent mode. Any errors that occur during installation are listed in the installation log file (see the User_Home/.TIBCO directory).

Configure the Installation Responses

A configuration file, TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent, is provided with the universal installer. Copy the file to another name (but keep the .silent extension) and use it to configure your installation choices.

You must edit the file in a text editor and provide all non-default values as needed before launching the silent installation. For example, ensure that the installationRoot and createNewEnvironment attributes are set correctly. The file includes comments to help you set the installation properties.

Save the configuration file to the same directory where the universal installer file is located. It is recommended that you back up the original file or save your edited file to a different name. This file is known as the response file.

Install in Silent Mode

  1. Extract the TIBCO ActiveSpaces® Transactions product archive file to an empty temporary directory.

  2. Ensure that /usr/ucb is in your PATH on Solaris.

  3. Using a console window, navigate to the temporary directory that contains the universal installer.

  4. Copy and edit the .silent file as described in the section called “Configure the Installation Responses”.

  5. To run the installer execute the following command, replacing myfile with your response file name:

    TIBCOUniversalInstaller -silent -V responseFile="myfile.silent"

    If you are using the TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent file, you need not supply the file name and can run TIBCOUniversalInstaller -silent.

    A line similar to the following is written to the installer log file when installation completes:

    The installation has completed. Please check the log file for additional information.
