Chapter 1 Introduction : Installation Requirements

Installation Requirements
This section describes the disk space requirements, system memory requirements, software requirements, and supported platforms for this product.
Disk Space Requirements
Before installing TIBCO Silver Fabric Enabler for ActiveMatrix Service Grid, you will have to extract the contents of the installation archive to a temporary directory. The installer files can consume up to 120 MB of disk space.
Temporary Disk Space Required by the Installer
During installation the installer requires at least 100 MB of free space in the temporary directory. On Microsoft Windows, the temporary directory typically is:
%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp.
If your system does not have sufficient disk space in the default temporary area, you can run the installer with a different temporary directory by using the following option when starting the installer:
-is:tempdir /new_temp
where /new_temp has sufficient free disk space.
The installer calculates the disk space required in the product home location for the selected components. The calculation is done before the actual installation (copying of files to the system) begins. The installer will proceed only if sufficient free disk space is available in the 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 give a failure message.
If temp disk space is a concern, avoid running other processes that consume disk space in the product home location while performing the installation.
Disk Space After Installation
This product can consume about 100 MB of free space under SFSG_HOME.
System Memory Requirements
A minimum of 2 GB of physical memory is required.
Supported Platforms
Refer to the readme file for the supported platforms and versions and required patches.
