Installation
The Spotfire Server installer adds three major components to your system: A Java environment (JDK), a Tomcat application server, and a Spotfire Server web application.
Spotfire Server should run in an English (United States) language setting, as stated on the
TIBCO Spotfire Server System Requirements page.
Note: If you are upgrading, first read
Upgrading Spotfire.
The JAVA_HOME of the Apache Tomcat is set to the path of the installed JDK.
Select the appropriate installation procedure for your system.
