Chapter 1 TIBCO Hawk Installation : Preparing for Installation

Preparing for Installation
Before you start with installation, make sure your system meets all prerequisites, it is recommended that you decide on the installation environment name and folder, and download and extract the installation package.
TIBCO_HOME is the top-level installation directory for TIBCO products.
TIBCO_HOME is referred to as the installation environment.
Installation environments isolate product installations. A product installed into an installation environment does not automatically access components in other environments.
An installation environment consists of a name and a folder.
If a previous installation of a TIBCO product did not use the TIBCO Universal Installer, the TIBCO Universal Installer does not detect the folder those older products use as an installation environment folder. If you wish to use the existing location as the installation folder, create a new installation environment and choose the folder where the other products exist.
If any errors appear during installation, consult Appendix B, Troubleshooting and Frequently Asked Questions for possible solutions.
Installation Environment
An installation environment isolates product installations. A product installed into an installation environment does not access components in other installation environments.
An installation environment identifies the top level installation directory in which the product is installed.
Understanding Installation Profiles
Different installation components are associated with different functions. By using the installer, you can select the components during the installation.
During custom installation, you can choose to install the following Hawk components.
The installation components are grouped into different installation profiles. One installation profile is associated with one or more installation components. When a profile is selected, the components that default to the selected profile are installed. By default, the TIBCO Hawk 6.2 Components installation profile is selected, therefore, all the Hawk components are installed. However, the installer allows you to customize the installation by explicitly selecting the components that you want to install.
