Installing in Silent Mode

When installing in silent mode, the installer does not prompt you for any input during the installation. As a root or non-root user, you can choose either to provide input in the silent.cfg file or on the command line for the silent installation. The silent.cfg file is included in the Platform Server distribution .tar file. This file allows you to define or configure all the parameters required for an installation.

Before you begin You must download the product software. For instructions, see Downloading the Software.
    Procedure
  1. On the command line, navigate to the temporary directory where the installation package is located.
  2. Use the tar command to extract the installation files.
    tar -xvf mftps_tar_file_name

    For example, 

    tar -xvf "TIB_mftps-unix&zlinux_v.v.v_linux.tar"
  3. For the silent installation, you can proceed in either one of the following ways:

  4. If you want to use the silent.cfg file option for the silent installation, then enter the parameters in the file.

    For information on supported parameters, see Installation Parameters; or, for an example, see Example - silent.cfg File.

    Run the install script if you are a root user or the install.noroot script if you are non-root user by using either one of the following commands.

  5. ./install silent  

    or

    ./install.noroot silent 

    Note: If you install using the silent configuration file, all files, including silent.cfg, are deleted at the end of the installation. You should make a backup copy of silent.cfg prior to running the install scripts so that the script can be used in subsequent installations.
  6. If you want to use the command-line option for the silent installation, type the parameters that are required for a silent installation, that is, -q and -accepteula.

    For information on supported parameters, see Installation Parameters; or, for examples, see Examples - Command-Line Installation.

    Run the install script if you are a root user or the install.noroot script if you are non-root user by using the following command.

    ./install -q -accepteula
    ./install.noroot -q -accepteula

  7. Review the following information in the final installation message:
    • Location of the configuration file (by default $CFROOT/config/config.txt): you can use it to configure the default settings.
    • Path information: you can use it to configure the required environment variables. At the end of installation, you are promoted to update the PATH as export PATH=$PATH:$CFROOT/bin
ResultWhen the installation is completed, all the executable programs, such as cfdir, cfinq, cfnode, cfprofile, cfrprofile, cfmutex, cfsend, cfrecv, cfstart, cfstop, substart, fusping, fusutil, startmgr, msgmgr, hainstall, CyberMgr, CyberMgrBackup, CyberResp are saved in the $CFROOT/bin folder.
