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 library is already installed.

Procedure

  1. Download the three installation packages.
    Download the packages for either the community edition or the enterprise edition.
    Note: The release number embedded in the name of the core sub-component differs from the other sub-components. It corresponds to the Apache Kafka release number, rather than the TIBCO Messaging - Apache Kafka Distribution release number.
    Edition Command
    Community Edition 
    TIB_msg-akd-core-ce_1.1.0_linux_x86_64.zip
    TIB_msg-akd-bridge-ce_1.0.0_linux_x86_64.zip
    TIB_msg-akd-repo-ce_1.0.0_linux_x86_64.zip
    Enterprise Edition 
    TIB_msg-akd-core_1.1.0_linux_x86_64.zip
    TIB_msg-akd-bridge_1.0.0_linux_x86_64.zip
    TIB_msg-akd-repo_1.0.0_linux_x86_64.zip
  2. Navigate to a temporary directory. 
    mkdir /tmp/msg-akd-installation
cd /tmp/msg-akd-installation
  3. Extract the TIBCO Messaging - Apache Kafka Distribution archive files.
    Edition Command
    Community Edition 
    unzip TIB_msg-akd-core-ce_1.1.0_linux_x86_64.zip
    unzip TIB_msg-akd-bridge-ce_1.0.0_linux_x86_64.zip
    unzip TIB_msg-akd-repo-ce_1.0.0_linux_x86_64.zip
    Enterprise Edition 
    unzip TIB_msg-akd-core_1.1.0_linux_x86_64.zip
    unzip TIB_msg-akd-bridge_1.0.0_linux_x86_64.zip
    unzip TIB_msg-akd-repo_1.0.0_linux_x86_64.zip
    These extraction commands place installation RPM, DEB, and TAR artifacts in subdirectories of the temporary directory.
  4. Install all three sub-components using one of these commands, depending on the Linux platform variant.
    Linux Variant Command
    Red Hat, Centos 
    sudo yum install -y rpm/*.rpm
    Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora 
    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 sudo tar xvf $f; done
    The installation utilities yum, dpkg, or zypper install TIBCO Messaging software under /opt/tibco/.

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

  5. Optional. You may delete the temporary directory.
