System Requirements

Before you run the installer, ensure that the hardware and software requirements are met.

Platform

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 temporary directory before installation, and additional space in the temporary 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).
