Chapter 2 TIBCO BusinessEvents Installation : Installation Guidelines

Installation Guidelines
The sections below provide guidelines for installing on Windows and UNIX platforms.
If deploying with TIBCO Administrator   Install it on machines where you will deploy TIBCO BusinessEvents applications before you install TIBCO BusinessEvents. See If Deploying with TIBCO Administrator on the Same Machine, Install it First.
Windows Installation Guidelines
All 32-bit installers are supported on 64-bit platforms as 32-bit software.
Installer Account
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.
Installing from a Network Drive
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.
If you install in the Execute mode, the installation registry is maintained in your user home directory. If you install in the Install mode, the installation registry is maintained in the %SystemRoot% folder.
UNIX Installation Guidelines
Installer Account
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
Permissions
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.
Windowing Environment
A windowing environment such as CDE (that is, X11 Windows) is required to run the installer in GUI mode. It is not required for a console installation or silent installation.
