Oracle ships the SunEC library as a part of JRE 7, but the SunEC library is covered by different license (LGPL). Install SunEC library to take advantage of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). To use ECC, user should download the SunEC library separately during the installation process. The TIBCO Universal Installer provides an option to download the library for user from download.tibco.com, if license is accepted.
There are two options:
product_tibco_sunec_1.7.0.055_OSplatform.zip file will be updated in the assembly folder of TIBCO Runtime Agent(TRA) installer.
b) Save the product_tibco_sunec_1.7.0.055_OSplatform.zip file to a temporary directory accessible to the machine on which the Tibco Runtie Agent is running.
If LGPL assembly is available, provide the location for LGPL assembly. LGPL Assembly ID would be product_tibco_sunec. LGPL Assembly version: 1.7.0.055.

Click Finish to proceed and complete the installation process and close the installer window.
 
Install Using Console Mode
To install the software in console mode:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Run TIBCOUniversalInstaller -console.
5.
Install Using Silent Mode
In silent mode, the universal installer does not prompt for any inputs during installation. Instead, the inputs are read from a response file that can be provided as a command-line parameter. If no value is specified, the installer uses the default TIBCOUniversalInstaller_TRA_version_number.silent file.
The TIBCOUniversalInstaller_TRA_version_number.silent file is packaged in the directory that contains the universal installer. Edit the file with information for your environment before launching the silent installation. The file includes comments that describe the installation properties you can set. While you can use the TIBCOUniversalInstaller_TRA_version_number.silent file, it’s good practice to copy the file to a different name and use that file for the silent install.
The following procedure explains how to install a TIBCO Runtime Agent in silent mode. If errors occur during installation, they will be listed in the installation log file contained in User_Home/.TIBCO directory.

UNIX  TIBCOUniversalInstaller.bin -silent -V responseFile="myfilename.silent"
