When you need to automate or repeat installations, you can set the installer to perform a non-interactive installation, based on an answer file, which the installer can create automatically from the answers you specify during an interactive installation.

Use -r, -a, and -d switches

The install script has the following options:

$ ./rhino-install.sh -h
Usage: ./rhino-install.sh [options]

Command line options:
-h, --help        - Print this usage message.
-a                - Perform an automated install. This will perform a
non-interactive install using the installation defaults.
-r <file>         - Reads in the properties from <file> before starting the
install. This will set the installation defaults
to the values contained in the properties file.
-d <file>         - Outputs a properties file containing the selections
made during install (suitable for use with -r).

You’ll use:

  • -d to create the answer file

  • -r to read the answer file

  • -a to install in non-interactive mode.

For example, to create the answer file:

$ ./rhino-install.sh -d answer.config

And then to install, unattended, based on that answer file:

$ ./rhino-install.sh -r answer.config -a
Warning After installing multiple nodes for a cluster unattended, you must manually copy the keystores between them, so the clients can connect.
