# 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/.
   A complete installation includes the following packages:
   - EMS C Client Development Kit
   - EMS C and .NET Client
   - EMS Central Administration (Enterprise Edition only)
   - EMS Java Client and OSGi Bundle
   - EMS Product Information
   - EMS Samples and JAAS Source Code
   - EMS Server
   - EMS Third Party Dynamic Libraries
5. Optional. You may delete the temporary directory.
