WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express provides a way to install the code "silently" using the command line. A silent installation installs the program without using a GUI. This feature requires an options file that provides values for all of the installation options and must have the -silent option enabled. Each option in the file appears on a separate line.
WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express includes a sample file called BCGLinuxExpressInstall.iss. The sample file is in the disk1 directory on the CD or archive file. Note that the sample file includes the -silent option enabled, which means WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express installs without a GUI if you use the file unmodified. You can either modify the provided sample file or perform an install using the GUI and record your choices to create a custom options file. For information, see Generating an options file.
To install WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express silently:
setupLinux -options "<options file name>"
where <options file name> identifies the file that contains the option values the installer will use.
To generate a response file with settings specific to your installation:
./setupLinux -options-record "<response file name>"
where <response file name> identifies the file to contain the options used in the installation.
The installer runs using the GUI. It installs WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express and places the given response file in the command in the install directory. You can then edit this file with any text editor, or use it without changes to reinstall the product or create duplicate installs on other machines.
IBM also provides a command line (console mode) install program that you can use to install WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express on your computer. An example of when you might use console mode is when the X Windows system is not installed or is not correctly configured, thus preventing use of the installation wizard GUI.
To install WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express:
./setupLinux -console
