Chapter 1 TIBCO Hawk Installation : Installation Prerequisites

Installation Prerequisites
If you plan to install in an existing installation environment, it is recommended to stop all the processes that are using Java from TIBCO_HOME.
Before you run TIBCO Universal Installer on your Windows or UNIX system, you must login as a user with appropriate permissions, and your system must meet hardware and software requirements as mentioned in the following sections.
Some software is required, and the rest is optional. Before you run the installer, make sure you are running on a supported platform. See the Readme file available at https://docs.tibco.com for information about the supported operating system platforms, versions, and about required patches.
Microsoft Windows
Only user with Administrator privileges can install TIBCO Hawk components on Windows platform. If you intend to install the product on a network drive, ensure that the account used for installation has Administrator permission to access the network drive.
UNIX or Linux
Any type of user—regular (non-root) user and super-user (root)— can install TIBCO Hawk. It is recommended the same installer account to install all TIBCO products. A graphic environment such as CDE or X Windows is required to run the installer in GUI mode.
Hardware Requirements
TIBCO Hawk installation requires minimum of 512 MB system memory (RAM) and about 500 MB of free disk space. Make sure you have adequate system memory and disk space before proceeding with TIBCO Hawk installation.
The Universal Installer requires disk space in the temporary directory before installation, and additional space in the temporary directory for running the installer. Refer to the following table and ensure you have sufficient disk space available in the directory you want to use as the installation environment (TIBCO_HOME) directory.
 
For example, c:\temp or /tmp
Before you start the installation, you need this space to download installable archive file. For example, file with name TIB_hawk_<version>_win_x86_64.zip is the installable archive file. This file needs about 290 MB of disk space.
For example, c:\temp\hawk<version>install or /tmp/hawk<version>install
This directory requires about 290 MB of disk space.
If your system does not have sufficient free disk space in the default temporary directory, you can use the is:tempdir option when starting the installer to run the installer with a different temporary directory.
For example: TIBCOUniversalInstaller -is:tempdir \new_tmp
where \new_tmp has sufficient free disk space.
These directories are HAWK_HOME and CONFIG_FOLDER. Together they both need at least 480 MB of disk space.
Software Requirements
Refer to the following table for software requirements for a well-functioning TIBCO Hawk system. TIBCO Hawk installation includes some of the components, although they may be optional. Refer to the Readme file for details about the supported versions of various third-party software components.
If the Eclipse LGPL software assembly (product_tibco_eclipse_lgpl) is not present in the temporary directory where you extracted the product archive file, and the machine on which you plan to run the Hawk installer is not connected to the Internet, download the Eclipse LGPL software assembly for your target platform before you install Hawk.
If the Sunec LGPL software assembly (product_tibco_sunec) is not present in the temporary directory where you extracted the product archive file, and the machine on which you plan to run the installer is not connected to the Internet, download the Sunec LGPL software assembly for your target platform before you install Hawk. Save the downloaded assembly in a temporary directory accessible to the machine on which you plan to run the installer. During installation, provide the location of the temporary directory where the downloaded software assembly is available.
