Chapter 1 Installation Overview : Installation Modes and Disk Space

Installation Modes and Disk Space
This section explains the installation modes and disk space requirements.
Installation Modes
Three installation modes are available: GUI, console, and silent. GUI mode provides a typical installation experience for a GUI environment. Console mode can be used with a command line environment when a GUI environment is not available. Silent mode is suitable for scripted, non-interactive installation.
Installer Log File
The installer log file, tibco_universal_installer.timestamp.username_install.log, is written to the .TIBCO/install_<timestamp> folder of the user's home directory. The installer log file captures the following information:
To change the location of the installer log file, specify the option -V logFile="myLogFile" when you run the installer.
System Memory
A minimum of 2 GB of physical memory is recommended.
Disk Space
Disk Space Before Installation
The installer files may consume up to 500 MB of disk space depending on the operating system platform being installed.
Temporary Disk Space Required by the Installer
The installer requires at least 150 MB of free space in the temporary directory. On Microsoft Windows, the temporary directory location is %SystemDrive%:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp.
The installer calculates the disk space required in product home location for the selected components. The calculation is done before the actual installation (copying of files to system) begins. The installer will proceed only if sufficient free disk space is available in product home location.
However, if disk space is consumed by another process while the installer is copying the files, and if the required disk space is thereby reduced, the installer may fail and will then give a failure message.
While performing installation, avoid running other processes that consume disk space in product home location.
