If you do not agree to the terms of the license agreement, click Cancel to exit from the installation process.
Select or create a TIBCO home. For more details and guidelines see the section called “TIBCO Home and Default Installation Directory”. Do one of the following:
- Select Use an Existing TIBCO_HOME and select a home from the list.
- Create a new TIBCO home. Browse to and select a directory, and provide a name for the home.
  The name cannot contain special characters such as "*", "?", ">", "<", ":", "|", "/", "\", or quotes (").
- Click Next to continue the installation.
You can now customize the installation. If you don’t want to customize the installation just click Next without checking the Customize Installation check box and go to step 8.
You can add additional components at a later time by repeating the installation process starting at step 2 and chosing this TIBCO home.
1. Check the Customize Installation check box.
2. Optionally select only the components you want to install. See the section called “TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme Components” for guidelines.
3. Click Next
4. A dialog appears where you can specify the location of a different Eclipse installation from the version provided with TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme . Do one of the following.
  - Do not check the Use my own Eclipse installation check box. Just click Next to accept the provided Eclipse installation. (This is the recommended approach).
  - Check the Use my own Eclipse installation check box. Specify the location of your Eclipse installation in the Eclipse Installation Location field, and click Next. Also see the section called “Using an Existing Eclipse Installation” for additional configuration required to use your own installation.
    The installer performs some basic checks and if it finds any problems with the Eclipse configuration that you specified, it displays messages. If you are installing TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme before your own copy of Eclipse, you can ignore the messages and continue the installation.
Click Next.
The installer configures your installation choices, then the Pre-Install Summary dialog displays. Review the information in the dialog and make sure that it is correct.
If you want to change any of your choices, click Back to step back through the dialogs to the appropriate point. You can then restart the installation process from that point.
If you are satisfied with your choices, click Install.
The installer now performs the necessary installation tasks.
When installation has completed, the Post Install Summary dialog displays. Click Finish to exit from the installer. There is a slight delay while the installer deletes temporary files.

Install in Console Mode

The following procedure explains how to install the software in console mode.

Open the physical media or download the TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme product package.
Extract the TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme product archive file to an empty temporary directory.
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-mac.bin -console - Macintosh
- TIBCOUniversalInstaller-x86-64.bin -console - Unix
- TIBCOUniversalInstaller-x86-64 -console - Windows
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

Extract the TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme product archive file to an empty temporary directory.
Using a console window, navigate to the temporary directory that contains the universal installer.
Copy and edit the .silent file as described in the section called “Configure the Installation Responses”.
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.
```
