Completing a Silent Installation

To run silent installation, you must create an options file and then run it with the MicroStrategy Installation Wizard. Save the options file as options.txt. An example of an options.txt file is provided in Example of an Options File below. You can use the example as a template and replace italicized text with your own information.
This options file or response file is used with the command line argument -options to modify the wizard settings. The settings that can be specified for the wizard are listed in the next section, Parameters for a Silent Installation.
Log on to the computer where you are installing one or more MicroStrategy products.
You can access the installation files by asking your system administrator to share the files in a network location.
Browse to the MicroStrategyInstallation/QueryReportingAnalysis_Linux directory.
Open options.txt in a text editor.
Specify a value for a setting by replacing the character's Value. For detailed information on the parameters and values that can be supplied with the options.txt file for a silent installation, see Parameters for a Silent Installation.
Save the changes to the options.txt file.
To use the options file on a silent installation, specify -silent -options <FileName> as a command line argument to the wizard, where <FileName> is the name of this options file, for example, options.txt.

For example, type the command:
Copy
```
./setup.sh -silent -options <path of the options.txt file>
```
Example of an Options File

Copy and paste this example to create an options.txt file. Make sure you check for correct spaces and new lines in all file paths.
For descriptions of each of the options listed in this example, see Parameters for a Silent Installation.
The example below assumes you are using the full set of installation files to support the MicroStrategy installation. If you have downloaded only a subset of the .tzp files that are required for the MicroStrategy installation, you must define where these files are stored, using the parameters described in Install on Demand Options.

#
# Options File Template
#
# This file is a options file (i.e., response file) for the MicroStrategy
# Installer. The options file is loaded by default if it is named "options.txt"
# and it is located in the same directory as setup.sh. 
# An alternative options file can be specified by using "-options" on 
# the command line.
# 
# The settings that can be specified for the wizard are listed below. To use
# this template, follow these steps:
# 
#    1. Enable a setting below by removing leading '###' characters from the
#    line (search for '###' to find settings you can change).
# 
#    2. Specify a value for a setting by replacing the character's '<value>'.
#    Read each setting's documentation for information on how to specify its
#    value.
# 
#    3. Save the changes to the file.
#
#    4. Launch the installation using the setup.sh script
#  
#
# We are working to improve our Silent and Automated installation use-cases.  Feedback on 
# Silent or Automated installations is welcomed via the MicroStrategy Community (Platform
# Services > Platform > Secure Enterprise - Linux) or via Technical Support to the Deployment Team.
