Installation Prerequisites
The following is a list of prerequisites for installing TIBCO Runtime Agent.
Supported Platforms
See the TIBCO Runtime Agent readme file for a list of supported platforms.
Supported Vendor-supplied Database Drivers
The following vendor-supplied database drivers are supported:
See the TIBCO Runtime Agent readme file for versions of supported vendor-supplied database drivers.
Installer Account
On Windows, to install this product, the account you use to log into the machine must have administrator privileges.
On Unix, the product can be installed by a regular (non-root) user and super-user (root). Different users can install the same product at different locations. You must have write permission to the /tmp directory or the installer will throw output permission denied error in the console.
Installing to a Networked Drive
If you intend to install the product onto a networked drive, you must have permissions to write to that drive.
If you do not know how to do this, go to the machine so you can install locally, or consult Microsoft Windows online help.
Installing on GUI Mode on UNIX
A GUI environment such as CDE (that is, X Windows) is required to run the installer in GUI mode. It is not required for a console or silent installation.
See DISPLAY Variable FAQ for information about installing on Unix systems.
Installing on Windows 2008, 2012 and 2014 Terminal Server
There are two modes in Windows Terminal Server: Execute and Install. Users are logged on by default in Execute mode, which allows them to run applications. To install TIBCO Runtime Agent so that everyone can use it, log on as administrator in Install mode. When the adapter is installed in the Install mode, the installation registry is maintained in SystemDrive:\WINDOWS.
The best way to install the TIBCO Runtime Agent on Windows Terminal Server is to use the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet. This automatically sets your mode to Install during the installation and then back to Execute afterwards. Alternatively, you can manually change your mode to Install before starting the installation by typing the following at a command prompt:
C:\> change user /install
Change back to Execute mode after installation is complete by typing:
C:\> change user /execute
To check your current mode, type the following:
C:\> change user /query
