Installer Disk Space Requirements in Temporary Area

The topic describes the temporary disk space requirements for TIBCO Fulfillment Catalog.

UNIX Platform

The installer launcher extracts a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in a temporary directory, and then uses this JVM to launch itself. The size of the extracted JVM differs from platform to platform.

On UNIX platforms the following disk space is required in the temporary area:

  • 256 MB (minimum) of free disk space in /tmp

If your system does not have sufficient free disk space in the above temporary area, you can still run the installer with a different temporary area by using the following option when starting the installer:

install_package_name.bin -is:tempdir /new_tmp

where /new_tmp has sufficient free disk space.

Disk Space Requirement in User's Home Directory

On UNIX platforms when a regular (non-root) user installs a TIBCO product, the installation registry (two vpd files) is maintained in the user's home directory. As more products are installed, entries are added into these vpd files.

The user's home directory must have a minimum of 50-100 GB free disk space.
