The silent installer is useful if you want to add the installation of the MDEX Engine to your own install script, or push out the installation on multiple machines.
The silent installer is not interactive.
To install silently on UNIX:
From a shell window, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the installer.
Issue a command of the following form:
./OCmdex<release version>-<OS>_<buildnumber>.bin -i silent -f mdex_response.properties
where
mdex_response.propertiescontainsUSER_INSTALL_DIR=/home/<username>, which specifies the directory into which the MDEX Engine is installed.Optionally, use a file created by the installer to set up the
ENDECA_MDEX_ROOTvariable.Run
source endeca/MDEX/or<version>/mdex_setup_sh.inisource endeca/MDEX/depending on your shell.<version>/mdex_setup_csh.iniThe files set up the environment variable
ENDECA_MDEX_ROOTthat the MDEX Engine uses and that points toMDEX/<version>. The script also adds theutilitiesdirectory and the MDEX Engine binaries to the search path. The script itself is optional and provided as a convenience, although it only sets the variables for the current user in the current context.
