TIBCO BusinessEvents Installation : Installation Overview

Installation Overview
TIBCO Environment and Default Installation Directory
The installer prompts you to specify the environment (TIBCO_HOME) where you want to install TIBCO BusinessEvents. Each TIBCO environment is isolated. You can install the same software into different environments safely, for example, for test, QA, and staging purposes. You can install multiple TIBCO products into the same environment.
An environment has a name and a directory on disk. The directory is the root directory for all TIBCO products you want to install into this environment.
Microsoft Windows
The default installation location is the TIBCO_HOME where all TIBCO products are installed. Typically, TIBCO_HOME is c:\tibco.
The Start menu path to the executable files includes the environment as follows:
Start > TIBCO > TIBCO_HOME > TIBCO BusinessEvents 5.0
The name is also appended to the name of Windows services created by the installer.
UNIX
The default installation directory depends on who performs the installation:
For non-root users, the default installation directory is /<myhome>/tibco, where <myhome> is the home directory of the user.
Limiting Access to TIBCO BusinessEvents Installations
In some enterprises, users are given limited access to software installations, such as TIBCO BusinessEvents. All users, however, require full rights to the Eclipse installation because certain files are written during normal use of BusinessEvents Studio.
In this case you must install Eclipse separately, in areas where users have permission to write.
Use of a separately installed Eclipse installation (instead of the Eclipse software provided with TIBCO BusinessEvents) may be required for other reasons too.
