Configuration and run files

In a silent installation, users cannot input information or choices. You must supply all required information in a configuration file or on the command line that runs the silent install. The EAServer installation script contains a sample configuration file, SilentInstall_Unix.txt. The shell script SilentInstall_Unix.sh runs the install with this configuration. Start with copies of these files and modify them to suit your installation.

Place your configuration file and run script in the root directory of your install image. Edit the run script to refer to the file name you are using for your configuration file. You may need to change the temporary directory location specified for the -Dtemp.dir command line option. This directory must have enough space for the installer’s temporary work files, as described in “System requirements”.

Edit the configuration file to customize the install as described below.
