Performing a silent installation of a fix pack

You can install a fix pack from the command line.

Before you begin

Complete the following preparation tasks:
Ensure that the installation server is updated to the latest version. For more information, see Updating the installation server.
If you installed the agent software on remote servers manually, ensure that the agent software is updated to the latest version. Also, ensure that the agents are running. For more information, see Updating agents manually.
Verify that your deployment meets the system requirements for the fix pack.
If you want to update the database manually, complete the database update before you install the fix pack. For more information, see Update the OpenPages database manually (Db2) or Update the OpenPages database manually (Oracle).

Procedure

Log on to the installation server computer as the user who installed the installation server.

Alternatively, you can log in as any user who has full permissions on the installation server directories and who can run Node.js.
Copy the fix pack kit to the installation server.

Copy /OP_<version>_Main/OP_<version>_Installer/openpages_fixpack_<version>.zip from the fix pack installation media to the <Installation_server_home>/src/assets/maintenance directory.
Go to the <Installation_server_home>/src/deployment/<deployment name> directory.
Edit the deploy.properties file.
1. Change the value of the task property to fix-pack.
2. Change the value of the maintenance_version property to the version of the fix pack that you are installing, for example 8.2.0.1.
3. Update the value of the install_db property.
  - If you want the installation server to update the database to the fix pack version, change the value of the install_db property to full. This option requires DBA credentials.
  - If you updated the database manually, change the value of the install_db property to done or nondba.
    Note: Use done or nondba only if all of the database update scripts completed successfully.
  For more information, see Deployment file properties.
4. Save and close the file.
Tip: You can also update these properties by using the installation app. Open your deployment, click the task list and select Fixpack, select the fix pack version, and then click Save.
Run the silent installation from the command line.
1. Open a command prompt or open a shell window as an administrator.
2. Go to the <Installation_server_home> directory.
3. Run the following command:
```
npm run silent <deployment name> acceptLicense
```
  Note: Do not close the command prompt or shell window until after the process completes.
Check the logs to ensure that the installation is successful.
