Click Next on the License Agreement and the TIBCO Installation Home page is displayed. An installation environment isolates product installations. A product installed into an installation environment does not access components in other installation environments. An installation environment consists of a name and path. You can choose a new environment or an existing environment.

Create a new TIBCO_HOME  To install the product into a new installation environment, specify the following properties:

−	Directory  the directory into which the product is installed. Type a path or click Browse to specify the path or accept the default location.

The path or name cannot contain special characters such as "*", "#", "?", ">", "<", "%", "&", "$", "`", "|" or spaces. The path cannot be the same as the path of an existing environment.

−	Name  identifies the installation environment. The name cannot contain special characters such as "*", "?", ">", "<", ":", "|", "/", "\", spaces or quotation marks(").

The name is appended to the name of Windows services created by the installer and is a component of the path to the product in the Windows Start > All Programs menu.

Use an existing TIBCO_HOME  To install the product into an existing installation environment, select the environment from the drop-down list.

7.	Click Next on the TIBCO Installation Home page and the Pre-Install Summary page is displayed. Verify the list of products selected for install on this page.

8.	Click Install to start the installation process.

9.	Click Finish to complete the installation process and exit the universal installer.

10.	Proceed to the Postinstallation page and move the grid libraries to the specified directory to complete the installation.

Installation is not complete until the grid libraries are copied to the directory: SF_HOME/webapps/livecluster/deploy/resources/gridlib/ Refer to the section on Postinstallation for more information. Distributions must be downloaded separately and placed according to the instructions in the section on Postinstallation.

Console Mode

To install this product in console mode:

1.	Open the physical media or download the package.

2.	Extract the contents of the package to a temporary directory.

3.	Using a console window, navigate to the temporary directory.

4.	Run: Linux  TIBCOUniversalInstaller-lnx-x86-64.bin -console. Complete the installation by responding to the console window prompts.

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.silent file.

The TIBCOUniversalInstaller.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.silent file, it is good practice to copy the file to a different name and use that file for the silent install.

If errors occur during installation, they are listed in the installation log file located in the USER_HOME/.TIBCO directory.

If you invoke the installer with the -silent -V responseFile="filename" argument, the installer reads the input from the specified response file.

To install in silent mode, complete these steps:

1.	Open the physical media or download the package.

2.	Extract the contents of the package to a temporary directory.

3.	Using a console window, navigate to the temporary directory.

4.	Make a copy of the TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent file and rename the file.

5.	Using a text editor, open the copied file and update the install location and features to install.

6.	Run one of the following for your operating system:

Linux  TIBCOUniversalInstaller-lnx-x86-64.bin -silent -V responseFile="myfilename.silent"
