# Install in silent mode

Silent mode enables you to run an installation in the background using a response file that contains all the configuration properties for your installation.

Before installing, ensure that you have fulfilled the prerequisites. For details, see Before you install.

In this topic:

## Response properties

To run an installation in silent mode, first create a response.properties file in a text editor. Set the installation properties using this syntax:

PROPERTY_NAME=value

The following table provides a list of available response properties:

Property | Description
--- | ---
USER_INSTALL_DIR | A path to the PulseUno installation directory. Default paths:
Operating system | Path
--- | ---
Windows | USER_INSTALL_DIR=C:\\Program Files\\OpenText\\PulseUno
Linux | USER_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/opentext/pulseuno
FEATURE_PULSEUNO | The PulseUno server. To install the module, set the property to 1. To skip, set the property to 0.
FEATURE_VAULTSERVER | The Vault server. To install the module, set the property to 1. To skip, set the property to 0.
FEATURE_GITSERVER | The Git server. To install the module, set the property to 1. To skip, set the property to 0.
PULSE_HOSTNAME | If you are not installing the PulseUno server, specify its hostname.
PULSE_PORT | If you are not installing the PulseUno server, specify its port.
GITSERVER_URL | (Optional) If you are installing PulseUno without the Git server, enter the URL path for the Git server, for example: GITSERVER_URL=http:/localhost:8080/git-server
VAULTSERVER_URL | (Optional) If you are installing PulseUno without the Vault server, enter the URL path for the Vault server, for example: VAULTSERVER_URL=http:/localhost:8080/vault-server
PULSE_PASSPHRASE | The passphrase to connect the modules if they are installed separately. Don’t enclose the passphrase in quotation marks, for example: PULSE_PASSPHRASE=my-secret Note: If you are installing each module separately, you must use the same passphrase for all the modules. You can later connect other Git and Vault instances to PulseUno using this passphrase. The passphrase is case-sensitive.
PULSE_DATA_DIR | The root directory for the data directories. Default paths:
Operating system | Path
--- | ---
Windows | PULSE_DATA_DIR=C:\\ProgramData\\OpenText\\PulseUno
Linux | PULSE_DATA_DIR=/opt/opentext/pulseuno/data
DB_EMBEDDED_POSTGRES | Windows only: An embedded PostgreSQL database. To create an embedded PostgreSQL database, set the property to 1. Otherwise, set to 0.
PG_E_ADMINUSER | Embedded PostgreSQL only: The admin’s username.
PG_E_ADMINPASS | Embedded PostgreSQL only: The admin’s password.
PG_E_PORT | Embedded PostgreSQL only: The port number to connect to PostgreSQL. Default: 5432.

DB_USER_PWD | The password to connect to the existing database.
TC_PORT | The port number for Common Tomcat. Default: 8080.
TC_USER | Linux only: The username for the Common Tomcat owner. Note: For security, do not use the root user to own and run Tomcat.
MAIL_SERVER_HOST | (Optional) The hostname of the mail server for sending notifications. Default: localhost.

## Run a silent-mode installation

After you create a response.properties file, you can run the installation in silent mode.

To install PulseUno in silent mode:

1. Download and unpack the installation file.

2. Make sure you have prepared a response.properties file, as described in Response properties.

3. From a command line, change to the directory containing the installer.

4. Run the command for the silent mode installation:

   - On Windows, as a local system user:

     Copy code

         <installer-location>\<PulseUno-installer>.exe -f <response-file-location>\response.properties -i silent

   - On Linux, as a root user:

     Copy code

         <installer-location>/<PulseUno-installer>.bin -f <response-file-location>/response.properties -i silent

     where:

     Variable | Description
     --- | ---
     <PulseUno-installer> | Specifies the name of the PulseUno installation file.
     <installer-location> | Specifies the full path to the PulseUno installation file.
     <response-file-location> | Specifies the full path to the response.properties file.

After installing PulseUno, proceed to the Post-installation steps.
