Installing IBM Data Studio silently

This topic provides the instructions for silently installing Data Studio.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have met the installation requirements.

Procedure

To install IBM Data Studio silently:

  1. Extract the product package to any directory on your computer, for example: c:\temp\datastudio.
  2. From the directory in the previous step, issue the following command:
    • On Windows systems: install.exe -r.
    • On Linux systems: ./install.bin -r.
  3. 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.

  4. 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).
