Installing silently on Linux

You can install Rational Team Concert products silently using a shell window.

About this task

For command-line installations, you must have the DVD media or "Local" Rational Team Concert download. The Web download does not currently support the command-line installation.

To install Rational Team Concert products:

Procedure

  1. Open a shell window and navigate to the linux subdirectory of the installation directory that contains the installation files.
  2. Use one or more of the following commands to install your Rational Team Concert products.
    Note: It is recommended that you install as the administrator (root) user using the install command. However, you can perform the installation as a non-administrator with the userinst command.
    For example, to install the server as root, run the following command:
    ./install -input install-server.xml --launcher.ini silent-install.ini
    Or to install the server as non-administrator, run the following command:
    ./userinst -input install-server.xml --launcher.ini user-silent-install.ini
  3. Similarly, to install the remaining products as root, run the following commands:
        ./install -input install-client.xml --launcher.ini silent-install.ini
        ./install -input install-buildsystem.xml --launcher.ini silent-install.ini
        ./install -input install-cc-connector.xml --launcher.ini silent-install.ini
        ./install -input install-cq-connector.xml --launcher.ini silent-install.ini
    To install as non-administrator, replace install with userinst and slient-install.ini with user-silent-install.ini.
    If the product is already installed, running the command updates (if necessary) instead of installing a new instance.
    Important: Verify that the products are not running before initiating an update.
