silentinstall.sh

The silentinstall.sh script is installed to the crystal directory of your installation. Once you have set up Crystal Enterprise on one machine, you can use this template to create your own scripts that install Crystal Enterprise automatically on other machines. Essentially, once you have edited the silentinstall.sh template accordingly, it defines the required environment variables, runs the installation and setup scripts, and sets up Crystal Enterprise according to your specifications, without requiring any further input.

The silent installation is particularly useful when you need to perform multiple installations and do not want to interrupt people who are currently working on machines in your system. You can also use the silent installation script in your own scripts. For example, if your organization uses scripts to install software on machines, you can add the silent Crystal Enterprise installation command to your scripts.

For information about script parameters, see the comments in the silentinstall.sh script.

Note:    

• Because the silentinstall.sh file is installed with Crystal Enterprise, you cannot install silently the first time you install Crystal Enterprise.
• The silent installation is not recommended if you need to perform custom installations. The installation options are simplified and do not allow for the same level of customization provided in the Crystal Enterprise install script.
