Installation Requirements

Before you install the plug-in, ensure that your system meets all the hardware and software requirements and you have appropriate privileges to run the installer.

Installation Account and Permission Requirements

To install on Microsoft Windows or Linux you must have appropriate privileges. Privileges differ for various platforms.

Note: Use the same installer account to install all ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks products.
Platform Account Privileges
Microsoft Windows Only users with administrator privileges can install the plug-in. If you do not have administrator privileges, the installer automatically exits.

To install the product on a network drive, ensure that the account used for installation has permission to access the network drive.

Linux Both regular (non-root) user and super-user (root) can install on Linux.

A graphic environment such as CDE or X Windows is required to run the installer in GUI mode.

System Requirements

Ensure that your system meets the hardware and software requirements before installing the plug-in. 

Platform

Before you run the installer, ensure that the appropriate platform is supported. For information about supported operating system platforms, versions, and the required patches, see the Readme file.

Disk Space

The installer requires some space in the local directory before installation, and additional space in the local directory to run the installer. Ensure that sufficient space is available in the directory that you want to use as the installation environment (TIBCO_HOME).

Note: While installing the product, avoid running other processes that use disk space in the installation environment directory. If another process uses disk space while the installer is copying files, the installer might fail and display a failure message.

Software Requirements

Ensure that you have installed the required software before you run the installer. For information about supported products and versions, see the Readme file.
