Disk Space Requirements


This section lists the temporary disk space requirements required to run the installer on Microsoft Windows and Linux platforms.

If your system does not have sufficient free disk space in the default temporary area, you can run the installer with a different temporary area by using the following option when starting the installer:

-is:tempdir /new_tmp 

where /new_tmp has sufficient free disk space.

Microsoft Windows

During installation, the entire package is extracted into a temporary folder, typically

%SystemDrive%:\Temp or %SystemDrive%:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp

The installer requires 100 MB of free space in the temporary folder.

Linux

The installer requires a Java virtual machine (JVM) to execute. The installer launcher searches for an existing JVM. If the JVM is not found or is the wrong version, the installer extracts a JVM to a temporary area and uses this JVM to launch itself. The size of the extracted JVM differs from platform to platform; the free disk space required in the temporary area to hold the extracted JVM is:
Disk Space Requirement in User's Home Directory

On Linux, when a regular (non-root) user installs a TIBCO product, the installation registry (two vpd files) is maintained in the user's home directory. See Installation Registry. As more products are installed, entries are added into these vpd files. The user's home directory must at least have 500 KB of free disk space.
