Installation Overview and Requirements

TIBCO Universal Installer is used to install and uninstall Hawk Microagent for TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.

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 is the top-level installation directory for TIBCO products. An installation environment consists of the following properties:
Directory
Identifies the name of the directory where TIBCO products are installed. This directory is referred to as TIBCO_HOME.
Name
Identifies the installation environment. On Microsoft Windows, the name is a component of the path to the product shortcut in the Windows Start > All Programs menu.

You must install into an existing TIBCO_HOME, where TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorksTM is already installed.

Installation Requirements

Before you run the installer, ensure that you meet all the hardware and software requirements and that you have appropriate privileges to run the installer. For information about the hardware and software requirements, supported platforms, and other important information, see the product readme file.

The readme file can be obtained either on the TIBCO Documentation website (https://docs.tibco.com) or from the TIBCO eDelivery site (https://edelivery.tibco.com) with the product software.
