Silent installation

You can optionally run the installer in silent mode. This means that instead of prompting you for information it requires at runtime, it obtains that information from environment variables you set beforehand.

Normally, the script prompts you to enter the following:

You can avoid these steps by setting the following environment variables before running the script.

Environment variable Value
BDD_HADOOP_UI_USERNAME The username for your Hadoop manager. For CDH clusters, this will be Cloudera Manager. For HDP clusters, it will be Ambari.
BDD_HADOOP_UI_PASSWORD The password for your Hadoop manager.
BDD_WLS_USERNAME The username for the WebLogic Server administrator.
BDD_WLS_PASSWORD The password for the WebLogic Server administrator. This must contain at least 8 characters, one of which must be a number, and cannot start with a number.
BDD_STUDIO_JDBC_USERNAME The username for your Studio database.
BDD_STUDIO_JDBC_PASSWORD The password for your Studio database.
BDD_STUDIO_ADMIN_USERNAME The email address of the Studio admin, which will be their username. This must be a full email address and can't begin with root@ or postmaster@.
Note: The installer will automatically populate this value to the STUDIO_ADMIN_EMAIL_ADDERESS property in bdd.conf, overwriting any existing value. If you set STUDIO_ADMIN_EMAIL_ADDERESS instead of this environment variable, the installer will still execute silently.
BDD_STUDIO_ADMIN_PASSWORD The password for the Studio admin. This must contain at least 6 characters, one of which must be a non-alphanumeric character.

Note that the Studio admin will be asked to reset their password the first time they log in if you set the STUDIO_ADMIN_PASSWORD_RESET_REQUIRED property to TRUE.

INSTALLER_PATH The absolute path to the location of the installation packages. This is only required if you don't set the INSTALLER_PATH property in bdd.conf.
