If you choose to run the Composite Platform Installation
Tool silently, you must specify the appropriate values in the silent
input text file. When you run the command and specify the silent input
text file, the tool runs the installation and configuration automatically.
On UNIX® systems, ensure
that the gunzip program is available in /usr/bin before
you run the installation task.
To run the Composite Platform Installation Tool silently:
- Log on to the server, as appropriate for your operating
system:
Option |

Log on as a member of the local Administrators group. |
- Navigate to the Composite Platform Installation Tool software.
- Edit the cpit_silent_install.txt file
with the values for your installation.

directory you created, for example, /download_path/Platform_Downloads.

The installation processes can take approximately two to three
hours. You can ignore or close any component administrative tools
that display during the installation.

file for details. This file is located in the /tmp directory
on UNIX, or in the TEMP folder on Windows.
