Installer Account
Ensure that you have the appropriate privileges, depending on the platform on which you are installing.
| Platform | Account Privileges |
|---|---|
| Microsoft Windows | You must have administrator privileges for the machine on which the software is installed. If you do not have administrator privileges, the installer exits. You must then log out of the system and log in as a user with the required privileges, or request your system administrator to assign the privileges to your account. If you intend to install the product from a network drive, you must ensure that the account used for installation has permission to access the network drive. |
| Linux | The software can be installed by a regular (non-root) user and super-user (root). Different users can install the same product at different locations. The user performing the installation must have Read Write Execute permissions on all files and directories, after the file is unpacked. The file structure after unpacking must be identical to the structure that was packed. Installation of TIBCO BusinessEvents add-on products must be performed by the same user who installed TIBCO BusinessEvents. Dependency checking will not work correctly unless the same user installs all dependent products. A windowing environment such as CDE (that is, X11 Windows) is required to run the installer in GUI mode. |
