You can use an InstallAnywhere response file to configure automated, silent installs on Linux workstations.
Before you begin
Download and unzip the installation file for your Linux system as described in Install on Linux.
Change permissions on the installation file so that it is executable by root.
To deploy using a response file
Use a text editor to create and save a response file. See samples and options below.
Log on as root.
Launch the installer using a command that specifies your response file (called rxaresponse in this example):
/path/rxa-n.n.n.nnn-prod-package-type.bin -f /path/rxaresponse
Response file format
Use INSTALLER_UI to specify a silent install. Use CHOSEN_INSTALL_FEATURE_LIST to list the features to be installed. CHOSEN_FEATURE_LIST is the list of features enabled. For silent installations these are typically the same. Use USER_INSTALL_DIR to specify the installation directory. All options are required. Leave other options as shown in these examples.
The following sample response file installs all Reflection X Advantage applications and services; and the generic sample template, which automatically imports the default sample settings.
INSTALLER_UI=silent CHOSEN_INSTALL_SET=Custom CHOSEN_FEATURE_LIST=RX,XMan,XManDom,AdminCon,Service,ServDC,ServRmt,TemplGrp,TemplGen CHOSEN_INSTALL_FEATURE_LIST=RX,XMan,XManDom,AdminCon,Service,ServDC,ServRmt,TemplGrp,TemplGen USER_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/rxadvantage JDK_HOME= JDK_DOT_HOME=$USER_INSTALL_DIR$$/$$jre JAVA_EXECUTABLE=$USER_INSTALL_DIR$$/$$jre/bin/java
The following response file installs just the Reflection X Advantage service to create a domain node.
INSTALLER_UI=silent CHOSEN_INSTALL_SET=Custom CHOSEN_FEATURE_LIST=RX,Service CHOSEN_INSTALL_FEATURE_LIST=RX,Service USER_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/rxadvantage JDK_HOME= JDK_DOT_HOME=$USER_INSTALL_DIR$$/$$jre JAVA_EXECUTABLE=$USER_INSTALL_DIR$$/$$jre/bin/java
Features are organized in a feature tree. To install a feature, include any features above it in the hierarchy. This example installs the Domain Controller:
CHOSEN_INSTALL_FEATURE_LIST=RX,Service,ServDC
