Installing on Linux

Use the platform-native installer to install the product on Linux platforms. The installer provides a collection of RPM and TAR packages.

Procedure

  1. Download the installation package.
    Download the package for either the community edition or the enterprise edition.
  2. Extract the TIBCO EMS archive file to a temporary directory.
    Edition Command
    Community Edition 
    unzip TIB_ems-ce_8.5.0_linux_x86_64.zip
    Enterprise Edition 
    unzip TIB_ems_8.5.0_linux_x86_64.zip
    These extraction commands place installation RPM and TAR artifacts in a temporary directory, named TIB_ems_8.5.0, within the current directory.
  3. Navigate to the temporary directory. 
    cd TIB_ems_8.5.0
  4. Install using one of these commands, depending on the Linux platform variant.
    Linux Variant Command
    Red Hat 
    sudo yum install -y rpm/*.rpm
    SUSE 
    sudo zypper install rpm/*.rpm
    Note: If you encounter issues with dependencies, you can safely ignore those dependencies and proceed with the installation.
    Other Linux variants If your Linux variant does not include yum or zypper, you can use tar. 
    for f in tar/*; do tar -C / -xvf $f; done
    Move the new local opt directory to the desired location on the machine (for example, root directory /opt). If /opt/tibco already exists, copy the local subdirectory opt/tibco/ems to /opt/tibco/ems.
    Tip: You must have root privileges to write to the root / directory.
    The installation utilities yum or zypper install TIBCO EMS software under /opt/tibco/.
