Installing on Linux

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

Prerequisites

On SUSE Linux, ensure that libjvm and rdma libraries are already installed.

Procedure

  1. Download the installation package.
    Download the package for either the community edition or the enterprise edition.
  2. Extract the TIBCO FTL archive file to a temporary directory.
    Edition Command
    Community Edition 
    unzip TIB_ftl-ce_6.5.0_linux_x86_64.zip
    Enterprise Edition 
    unzip TIB_ftl_6.5.0_linux_x86_64.zip
    These extraction commands place installation RPM, DEB, and TAR artifacts in a temporary directory, named TIB_ftl_6.5.0, within the current directory.
  3. Navigate to the temporary directory. 
    cd TIB_ftl_6.5.0
  4. Install using one of these commands, depending on the Linux platform variant.
    Linux Variant Command
    Red Hat, Centos , Fedora 
    sudo yum install -y rpm/*.rpm
    Debian, Ubuntu 
    sudo dpkg -i deb/*.deb
    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, dpkg, or zypper, you can use tar. 
    for f in tar/*; do tar zxfv $f; done
    Tip: You must have root privileges to write to the root / directory.
    The installation utilities yum, dpkg, or zypper install TIBCO FTL software under /opt/tibco/.

    In contrast, the archive utility tar installs TIBCO FTL software under ./opt/tibco/.

    A complete installation includes the following packages:
    • FTL thirdparty
    • FTL runtime
    • FTL java
    • FTL servers
    • FTL development
    • FTL enterprise (Enterprise Edition only)
    • FTL monitoring (Enterprise Edition only)
    • FTL OSGI bundle
    • FTL docker
  5. Optional. You may delete the temporary directory.
