Silent Installer

The silent installer option allows for the automated installation of Iotellect. This can be particularly useful in environments where installations need to be performed across multiple devices, speeding up deployments while ensuring that there are no conflicting options or inconsistencies.

Iotellect can be installed silently from the command line using a *.varfile, which contains the pre-defined settings for the installer. This file will be used to automate the installation process without user interaction. A response.varfile is automatically created during each interactive installation, and can be found in the the Iotellect installation directory: Iotellect/.install4j/response.varfile

Example of a response.varfile :

executeLauncherAction$Boolean=false
sys.adminRights$Boolean=true
sys.adminRightsUiRootUnix$Boolean=true
sys.installationDir=/opt/Iotellect
sys.languageId=en
sys.programGroupDisabled$Boolean=false
sys.symlinkDir=/usr/local/bin
resource_creation_mode=3

sys.component.10792$Boolean=false
sys.component.1108$Boolean=false
sys.component.13573$Boolean=false
sys.component.17789$Boolean=false
sys.component.288$Boolean=true
sys.component.289$Boolean=false
sys.component.295$Boolean=true
sys.component.299$Boolean=false
sys.component.3219$Boolean=false
sys.component.4394$Boolean=false
sys.component.5558$Boolean=false
sys.component.6930$Boolean=false
sys.component.7639$Boolean=false
sys.component.8434$Boolean=false
sys.component.974$Boolean=false

The variable names in the response.varfile can vary between different versions of Iotellect. To ensure consistency between installations, the installer should be run manually on one instance in order to generate an example response.varfile.

Place the response.varfile in a directory where it can be referenced with the Iotellect installer. Execute the installer with the -q flag and a reference the response.varfile:

For Linux:

./installer.sh -q -varfile response.varfile

For Windows:

installer.exe -q -varfile response.varfile

Success or failure of the installation will be indicated in the Iotellect logs.
