This topic provides the instructions for silently installing
Data Studio.
Procedure
To install IBM Data Studio silently:
- Extract the product package to any directory on your computer,
for example: c:\temp\datastudio.
- From the directory in the previous step, issue the following
command:
- On Windows systems: install.exe -r.
- On Linux systems: ./install.bin -r.
- Follow the wizard steps to install the product and generate
a response file that saves your install settings.
When
the installation process is complete, a message confirms the success
of the process.
A response file called installer.properties is
saved to the same directory from which you started the installation.
Typically,
you use this response file to perform another installation on a different
computer.
- To install the product silently using the response file
that you generated, run the following command:
- If you are running the command from directory that includes
the installer.properties file:
- On Windows systems: Run install.exe -i silent.
- On Linux systems: Run ./install.bin -i silent.
- If you are running the command from a different directory
from the installer.properties file:
- On Windows systems: Run install.exe -i silent -f <path
to installer.properties>
- On Linux systems: Run ./install.bin -i silent -f <path
to installer.properties>
Results
When the installation process is complete, a message confirms
the success of the process. For problem determination, you can view
the installation log file in the directory where you installed the
product, for example:
installation_directory/logs/RCPinstall_sumary.log.
What to do next
You can open the product from the Start menu (on Windows
systems) or run
./datastudio (on Linux systems).
