TIBCO Rendezvous® 8.8.0

## Before You Install

Please consider these items before you install TIBCO Rendezvous software on one or more UNIX platforms.

## Installer Account

To install TIBCO Rendezvous, you can login either as a regular (non-root) user or as super-user (root).

## Running rvd with Increased Scheduling Priority

You can improve performance by running the Rendezvous daemon (`rvd`) with increased scheduling priority.

To arrange for increased priority, log in as root before running the `INSTALL` program; when `INSTALL` asks if you wish to run the Rendezvous daemon as setuid root, answer `y` (yes).

If you have already installed the Rendezvous software and want to change its scheduling priority, use the UNIX `chown` and `chmod` commands to set the Rendezvous daemon (`rvd`) to run as root.

Certain UNIX platforms let you set privileges (and hence, scheduling priority) based on groups. That approach also works well for the Rendezvous daemon.

When `rvd` runs as root, it raises its scheduling priority, and then restores normal user privileges (before executing any calls). File access does not occur while running with special privileges.

## Size and Time to Install

Rendezvous software requires approximately 6 megabytes of storage and takes less than 10 minutes to install. Instructions for installation follow.

## Installing Several Instances on One File System

When installing on UNIX platforms, you can (serially) install several instances of Rendezvous software in different directories on the same file system.
