Batch installation of extension bundles

You can install multiple extension bundles at once using the batch utility installextbundles.bat (installextbundles.sh for Mac and UNIX systems) located in the IBM® SPSS® Statistics installation directory. For Windows and Mac, the utility is located at the root of the installation directory. For Linux and IBM SPSS Statistics Server for UNIX, the utility is located in the bin subdirectory of the installation directory. The utility is designed to run from a command prompt and must be run from its installed location. The form of the command line is:

installextbundles [–statssrv] [–download no|yes ] –source <folder> | <filename>...

-statssrv. Specifies that you are running the utility on a IBM SPSS Statistics Server. You should also install the same extension bundles on client machines that connect to the server.

-download no|yes. Specifies whether the utility has permission to access the internet in order to download any R packages required by the specified extension bundles. The default is no. If you keep the default or do not have internet access then you will need to manually install any required R packages. See the topic Required R packages for more information.

–source <folder> | <filename>... Specifies the extension bundles to install. You can specify the path to a folder containing extension bundles or you can specify a list of filenames of extension bundles. If you specify a folder, all extension bundles (files of type *.spe or *.spxt) found in the folder will be installed. Separate multiple filenames with one or more spaces. Enclose paths with double-quotes if they contain spaces.
