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.

Before you begin

On SUSE Linux, ensure libjvm libraries are already installed.

    Procedure
  1. Download the installation package.
    Download the package for enterprise edition.
  2. Extract the TIBCO FTL archive file to a temporary directory.
    Edition Command
    Enterprise Edition 
    unzip TIB_ftl_7.0.1_linux_x86_64.zip
    These extraction commands place installation RPM, DEB, and TAR artifacts in a temporary directory, named  TIB_ftl_7.0.1 within the current directory.
  3. Navigate to the temporary directory. 
    cd TIB_ftl_7.0.1
  4. Install using one of these commands, depending on the Linux platform variant. (You can run the commands without 'sudo' if you have the privileges.)
    Linux Variant Command
    Red Hat, Centos , Fedora 
    sudo yum install -y rpm/*.rpm
    Debian, Ubuntu 
    sudo dpkg -i deb/*.deb
    SUSE 
    sudo zypper install -y --allow-unsigned-rpm rpm/*.rpm
    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.
    A non-enterprise Linux or some Docker Linux containers .

    1. yum install (all the rpms except TIB_ftl_*-enterprise.rpm)

    2. For the enterprise rpm, use:
      rpm --nodeps -i TIB_ftl_*-enterprise.rpm

    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

  5. Optional. You may delete the temporary directory.
