Installing in Silent Mode

When you run the installer in silent mode, the installer does not prompt for your input. Instead, the values specified in a response file are used to complete the installation. You can use a default pre-configured response file or create your own response file.

By default, the installer uses the TIBCOUniversalInstaller_BW_<version>.silent file, which is included in the directory that contains the universal installer.

To customize the silent installer:
  • Make a backup copy of the TIBCOUniversalInstaller_BW_<version>.silent file and edit the file itself. You can then run the silent installer with or without the response file argument.

Procedure

  1. Make a copy of TIBCOUniversalInstaller_BW_<version>.silent file and rename the file, for example, newfile.silent.
  2. Using a text editor, open the copied file and update the installation location and features to install.
    Note: If you want to run scripts, make sure that the TIBCO_HOME path does not contain any spaces, such as: Program Files.
  3. Open a console window, and navigate to the temporary directory where you extracted the product archive file. Run the silent installer using one of the following commands:
    • On Windows: 
      TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd -silent -V responseFile="newfile.silent"
    • On UNIX: 
      TIBCOUniversalInstaller.bin -silent -V responseFile='newfile.silent'
    • On Mac OS: 
      TIBCOUniversalInstaller-mac.command -silent -V responseFile='newfile.silent'
