Installing CAS from the CLI

Use the command line interface (CLI) to create scripts that are useful for managing large Configuration Auditing System (CAS) deployments.

To install CAS from the command line, call setup.exe with the appropriate parameters, as follows:

Setup.exe -PARAMETER value

Note: Use a space between each parameter and value pair. Do not use an equal sign (=).

The following parameters are available:

Table 1. Parameters that require an input value.

-INSTALLPATH	The installation directory. The default installation path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM®\CAS"
-APPLIANCE	Required. Set the appliance address to which CAS connects.
