Installing in the Silent Mode

In the silent mode, you can run the installer without user input by pointing the installer to an existing response file.

In the silent mode, the installer does not prompt for any inputs during installation. Instead, the inputs are read from a response file that can be provided as a command-line parameter. If no value is specified, the installer uses the default TIBCOUniversalInstaller_bwpluginmdm_<version>.silent file. This response file is packaged in the directory that contains the universal installer.

  • If you invoke the installer with the -silent argument, the installer reads the input from the default response file.
  • If you invoke the installer with the -silent -V responseFile="FileName" argument, the installer reads the input from the specified response file.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the temporary directory to which you extracted the installation package.
  2. Edit the response file directly. Or make a copy of the response file first and then edit the copied file.
  3. On a command line, navigate to the temporary directory to which you extracted the installation package.
  4. Enter the following command to start the installation:
    • Microsoft Windows:

      TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd -silent [-V responseFile="filename"]

    • Linux:

      TIBCOUniversalInstaller-lnx-x86-64.bin -silent [-V responseFile="filename"]

    • Mac OS:

      TIBCOUniversalInstaller-mac.command -silent [-V responseFile="filename"]

    Note: If you copy the response file to another directory, not the temporary directory containing the installer, you need to provide the absolute path of the response file.
