That depends on whether you're keeping a central database that all the
application instances will access or allowing each instance to create and
maintain its own database. In the former case, you need the client library
and a message file (I think). In the latter, you might look at the advantages
of the embedded server. There is a third case, where customers have their
own shared databases. Then you need a full Firebird installation on your
kit. The project maintains a silent Inno setup installer for Windows - and
equivalents for the various Linux distros.

Good luck,
