Running the Composite Platform Installation Tool silently

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:

  1. Log on to the server, as appropriate for your operating system:
    Option Description
    UNIX Log on as root.
    Windows® Log on as a member of the local Administrators group.
  2. Navigate to the Composite Platform Installation Tool software.
  3. Edit the cpit_silent_install.txt file with the values for your installation.
    1. Open cpit_silent_install.txt for editing.
    2. In the file, set LICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE.
    3. Set USER_SELECTED_FOLDER to the full path for the download directory you created, for example, /download_path/Platform_Downloads.
    4. Save and close the file.
  4. Run the installation tool:
    Option Description
    AIX® 5.0.0-CPIT-AIX.BIN -i silent -f /path_to_file/cpit_silent_install.txt
    Linux® 5.0.0-CPIT-LINUX.BIN -i silent -f /path_to_file/cpit_silent_install.txt
    Windows 5.0.0-CPIT-WIN.EXE -i silent -f path_to_file\cpit_silent_install.txt
    The installation processes can take approximately two to three hours. You can ignore or close any component administrative tools that display during the installation.
  5. If the installation does not complete, check the cpit_install_stderr.txt log file for details. This file is located in the /tmp directory on UNIX, or in the TEMP folder on Windows.
