Use the silent installation method to install solidDB® without any user interaction. This method can be used, for example, for large-scale deployments of solidDB® where the silent installation command is embedded in a script.
Before you begin
In Windows environments, you must have Administrator rights to install solidDB®.
Procedure
1 Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK), version 1.6 or newer, if not already installed, on all the systems you will be installing solidDB®
JRE or JDK 1.6 or newer is needed to run the solidDB® installer.
On Linux systems, GNU Compiler for Java (GCJ) is not supported.
2 Copy the installation program file from the downloaded installation image to a temporary directory on your system. Use the installation program for your operating system:
solidDB-100.0-<platform>.exe (Windows)
solidDB-100.0-<platform>.bin (Linux and UNIX)
3 Start the installation program from the command line and generate a response file with the following command:
Windows
<installation_program> -r <response-file>
For example, in Windows 32-bit operating system:
soliddb-100.0–w32.exe -r response.txt
Linux and UNIX
sh <installation_program> -r <response-file>
For example, in Linux 64-bit operating system:
sh solidDB-100.0-linux-x86_64.bin -r response.txt
The solidDB® installation wizard starts.
4 Follow the displayed instructions to complete the installation.
In Linux and UNIX operating systems, you must be able write to the directory that you are using for the installation. If the installation program cannot create the directory, you are prompted to specify a different directory.
5 After the installation has finished, check that the response file you generated contains the options you need. The response file is located in the installation root directory.
A sample response file that is called installer-response-file.txt is available in the solidDB® installation directory.
6 On another system, perform the silent installation by running the following command:
