This chapter details the steps for the creation of a TIBCO Spotfire 5.5 development environment. It will focus solely on the installation of the components presented in the previous chapter, in a single standalone Windows environment.
Next we will present the main hardware and software installation prerequisites according to what is specified by TIBCO. If you require a more extensive and detailed list, please navigate to the following location: http://support.spotfire.com/sr.asp.
