Silent installation

As an alternative to the manual installations, you can also run a silent installation. This is most useful for network administrators who need to install to multiple end users. Complete the following steps to run a silent installation of IBM® SPSS® Modeler - Essentials for R in Modeler Client and Server on Windows or on Powerlinux.

Start a terminal application.
Change the directory to the location where you downloaded IBM SPSS Modeler - Essentials for R.
Using a text editor, create a response file named install.properties.

Add the following properties and associated values to the response file:


USER_INSTALL_DIR=<R 4.4.0 home directory>
FRONTEND_INSTALL_DIR=<IBM SPSS Modeler location>/ext/bin

where <R 4.4.0 home directory> is the installation location of R 4.4.0 and <IBM SPSS Modeler location> is the installation location of IBM SPSS Modeler. For example, on UNIX:

Example:

On Unix

     USER_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/lib/R
     FRONTEND_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/IBM/SPSS/ModelerServer/18.6/ext/bin

On Windows:

      USER_INSTALL_DIR=C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-4.4.0
      FRONTEND_INSTALL_DIR=C:\\Program Files\\IBM\\SPSS\\Modeler\\18.6.0\\ext\\bin

Save install.properties to the directory that contains the .bin file for IBM SPSS Modeler - Essentials for R and change to that directory.
On UNIX, run the installer with the following command:
```
./<installer_name> -i silent -f <response file name>
```
where <installer_name> is the name of the .bin file for IBM SPSS Modeler - Essentials for R.
Note: Run the command as root, either by logging in as root or by using the sudo command.
You must add the following property to the response file:
```
INSTALLER_UI=[swing | console | silent]
```
On Windows, run the installer with the following command:
```
./<installer_name> -i silent -f <response file name>
```
where <installer_name> is the name of the .bin file for IBM SPSS Modeler - Essentials for R. For example, SPSS_Modeler_REssentials_<version>_win32.exe .

Alternatively, on UNIX, you can run the installer with the following command:
```
./<installer_name> -f <Response file location>
```
On Windows, you can run the installer with the following command:
```
<installer_name> -f <Response file location>
```
In both cases, <Response file location> is the file path to the response file. If you use this alternative command, you must add the following property to the response file:
```
     INSTALLER_UI=[swing | console | silent]
```

Note: To use a different response file (other than install.properties), on UNIX run the installer with the following command:

     ./<installer_name> -i silent -f <response file name>

On Windows, run the installer with the following command:

     <installer_name> -i silent -f <response file name>
