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.

Note: The Spotfire Server should run in an English (United States) language setting, as stated on the TIBCO Spotfire Server System Requirements page, http://support.spotfire.com/sr_spotfireserver.asp.
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.

Note: For increased security, you may want to install the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) unlimited strength jurisdiction policy files. It is the user's responsibility to verify that these files are allowed under local regulations.

Select the appropriate installation procedure for your system and level of experience.
