TIBCO Spotfire® Service Python Installation and Administration

Configuring the Python Interpreter on a Linux Computer

Before running the Python interpreter on a Linux computer running the node manager, first you must set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so that the Python interpreter can start up properly.

Before you begin

  • You must have administrator privileges on the Linux computer running the node manager.
  • On the Linux computer running the node manager, navigate to PYTHON_SERVICE_HOME and make a note of the service name. (For example, Python Service Linux-<n.nn.n.nn-guid>.)

About this task

Perform this task from a bash shell on the Linux computer running the node manager.

Procedure

Export the environment variable and set the environment variable path to $PYTHON_SERVICE_HOME/python/lib.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/tibco/tsnm/<version.n.n-nnn>/nm/services/
Python Service Linux-<n.nn.n.nn-guid>/python/lib"

Results

The environment variable is now available to the subprocesses, and the system dynamic linker can find the required libraries.
