IBM InfoSphere Streams Version 4.1.0

Installing InfoSphere Streams by using the interactive or silent method

Use these procedures to install the InfoSphere® Streams main installation package, which installs all of the product files on the host.

Before you begin

A response file is required for a silent installation. You can optionally use a response file for an interactive GUI or console installation.

About this task

The interactive installation methods guide you through the installation. The main difference between the interactive GUI and console methods is that an X Window System is required for a GUI installation. If an X Window System is installed, the default installation mode is interactive GUI. Otherwise, the default installation mode is interactive console.

The silent installation method enables standardized, repeatable installations across a number of hosts. This method also enables you to install InfoSphere Streams as part of a larger suite or solution, or deploy the product using system management processes.
