Downloading installation software

The first step in installing or updating Spotfire Server is to download the required software to the computer that will run the server.

Before you begin

You must have access to the required software on the TIBCO eDelivery website. If you do not have access, contact your sales representative.

Procedure

On the TIBCO eDelivery website, go to the TIBCO Spotfire Server page.
At the bottom of the page, click Download, and sign in to the site if required.
On the server download page, select the latest version and your platform, and select the license agreement check box.

Note: Some Spotfire releases are designated long-term support (LTS) versions; for information about how LTS versions differ from mainstream (non-LTS) versions, see https://docs.tibco.com/pub/spotfire/general/LTS/spotfire_LTS_releases.htm.
Under Installation Method, do one of the following:
- To download the entire product, including language packs and developer software, select Full Product with Download Manager, click Download, and then follow the instructions.
- To download fewer files, do the following:
  1. Select Individual file download.
  2. Under SELECT AN INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT, expand TIBCO Spotfire Server Software.
  3. Under TIBCO Spotfire Server Software, select TIB_sfire_deploy_version.zip.
    This file contains the client packages that your end-users will receive when connecting to the server.
  4. Select either tib_sfire_server_version_win.zip (Windows) or tib_sfire_server_version_linux.tar (Linux).
    This file contains the server installation or upgrade files.
    
    The following example shows the approximate location of the required software components for Windows. Note that you will need both the server file and the deploy file to upgrade your environment. The Linux options are similar.
  5. Select any other files that you want to download.
  6. Unzip any zipped files that you downloaded to a folder on your desktop.
