Hardware Requirements

Installation requires a substantial amount of system memory and disk space.

Review the system memory and disk space requirements before you start installation.

System Memory

A minimum of 2 GB of physical memory is required.

Disk Space

The installer requires space in the temporary directory before installation, and additional space in the temporary directory for running the installer. You must also make that the directory you want to use as the installation environment (TIBCO_HOME) directory has sufficient space.

Note: While installating, avoid running other processes that consume disk space in the installation environment directory. If another process consumes disk space while the installer is copying the files, the installer might fail and display a failure message.

Directory	Disk Space Requirement
Temporary directory before installation	Before you start the installation process, extract the contents of the installation archive to a temporary directory. The installer files consume up to 990 MB of disk space.
Temporary directory during installation	The installer requires at least 70 MB of free space in the temporary directory. On Microsoft Windows, the default temporary directory location is %SystemDrive%:\Documents and Settings\`user_name`\Local Settings\Temp. If your system does not have sufficient free disk space in the default temporary directory, you can use the is:tempdir option to run the installer with a different temporary directory. For example: TIBCOUniversalInstaller`Platform` -is:tempdir \new_tmp where \new_tmp has sufficient free disk space.
Installation environment directory	The installer calculates the disk space required in the installation environment directory for the selected components. The calculation is done before the actual installation (copying of files to system) begins. The installer proceeds only if sufficient free disk space is available in the installation environment directory. A TIBCO ActiveMatrix product might consume 1GB of free space under `TIBCO_HOME`.

Directory

Disk Space Requirement

Temporary directory before installation

Before you start the installation process, extract the contents of the installation archive to a temporary directory. The installer files consume up to 990 MB of disk space.

Temporary directory during installation

The installer requires at least 70 MB of free space in the temporary directory. On Microsoft Windows, the default temporary directory location is %SystemDrive%:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp.

If your system does not have sufficient free disk space in the default temporary directory, you can use the is:tempdir option to run the installer with a different temporary directory. For example:

TIBCOUniversalInstallerPlatform -is:tempdir \new_tmp

where \new_tmp has sufficient free disk space.

Installation environment directory

The installer calculates the disk space required in the installation environment directory for the selected components. The calculation is done before the actual installation (copying of files to system) begins. The installer proceeds only if sufficient free disk space is available in the installation environment directory. A TIBCO ActiveMatrix product might consume 1GB of free space under TIBCO_HOME.
