Console and silent mode installation
This topic describes console and silent mode installations.
Console and silent modes
To invoke the console use this option: -i console
Use silent mode to perform an automatic installation of the software after invoking the installer. In silent mode no further user interaction is required. To invoke silent mode us this option: -i silent -f <response.filename>
The response file must specify the installation location for the software and at least one Git installation location.
Windows silent mode response file example:
#Git installation location #----------- CO_GIT_CHOOSER_LOC_INTERNAL=C:\\Program Files\\Git\\mingw64\\libexec\\git-core #Destination #----------- SILENT_INSTALL_DIR=c:\\apps\\Dimensions CM Git
Double '\' characters are required.
Linux and macOS silent mode response file example:
#Git installation location #----------- CO_GIT_CHOOSER_LOC_INTERNAL=/usr/libexec/git-core #Destination #----------- SILENT_INSTALL_DIR=/apps/dimensions_cm_git
The SILENT_INSTALL_DIR
location is created and then used to install the Dimensions CM software, a JRE, and an uninstaller.
The CO_GIT_CHOOSER_LOC_INTERNAL
location must exist and be writable by the user performing the installation.
Advanced silent options
You can specify multiple Git installation locations in the response file by adding values to CO_GIT_CHOOSER_OC_INTERNAL
.
