You
can run the installation program by using the graphical
method, silent method, or console method.
To run the installation program, you must insert or mount the IBM® Content
Analytics with Enterprise Search DVD or find the electronic
image on your system, and extract the files in the .tar file or .zip
file for your operating system. You can then use one of the following
methods to install the product.
Graphical installation
Graphical
installation
is the typical installation method. Choose this option if you want
to step through the installation manually and customize your installation.
- On AIX® or Linux
- To start the graphical installation program, run the ./launchpad.sh script,
click Install Product, and then launch the
installation program.
Requirement: If
you run the installation program in a shell other than Korn (ksh)
or bash, you must manually create the administrator user before you
start the installation program:
- Create the user ID to be used
as the IBM Content
Analytics with Enterprise Search administrator
ID.
- Set the login shell for the administrator user to ksh
or bash.
- On Windows
- To start the graphical installation
program, run the launchpad.exe command,
click Install Product, and then launch the
installation program.
Silent
installation
To install the product
silently, you must edit a template response file to provide information
that allows the installation program to install and configure your
system, and then run the installation command that is appropriate
for your operating system. Change to the Main/responseFiles directory
and edit one of the provided template response files to provide information
about your environment.
To run the installation program, change
to the
Main directory and specify the name of
the file that you edited. For example:
- On AIX or Linux
- ./install.bin -i silent -f responseFiles/LinuxMasterDistributedServer.properties
- On Windows
- install.exe -i silent -f responseFiles/WindowsMasterDistributedServer.properties
If you copy a template file to another location to
edit, specify the fully qualified path for the file when you run the
installation program. For example:
- On AIX or Linux
- ./install.bin -i silent -f /tmp/AIXMasterAllInOneServer.properties
If
the response file path includes a space or a character that must be
escaped, you must escape the space or character with the backslash
(\) character.
- On Windows
- install.exe -i silent -f c:\temp\WindowsMasterAllInOneServer.properties
If
the response file path includes a space, enclose the path in double
quotation marks (").
Console
installation
To run the installation
program in text mode from a console, change to the Main directory
and run the command that is appropriate for your operating system.
The screens are rendered in text and prompt you for the same information
as the graphical installation.
- On AIX or Linux
- ./install.bin -i console
- On Windows
- install.exe
-i console
Tip: After
you enter the command on Windows,
a process runs in the background for a number of seconds before the
console installation program is displayed.
Changing the temporary directory
You can
change the temporary directory for the installation program if the
default temporary directory does not have enough space. You must set
the temporary directory to a directory that has enough space before
you start the installation program. For example:
- On AIX or Linux
- export IATEMPDIR=/home/tmp
- On Windows
- set
TMP=d:\temp
