Installing IBM Integration Explorer in silent mode

You can install IBM® Integration Explorer by using the installation wizard in silent mode.

To install silently, you specify the path to a response file as an argument to the installation command or you can enter the parameters on the command line. You can create a response file during an installation by using the graphical installation wizard, or you can use a sample response file that is supplied in the samples-scripts directory in the root directory of the installation media.

Installing IBM Integration Explorer in silent mode by entering parameters on the command line

To run the installation wizard in silent mode by entering parameters on the command line, enter the following commands into a command prompt, where InstallDirectory is the path to where you want to install the product:

On Windows:

install.exe -i silent -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=true -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR=InstallDirectory

On Linux:
```
install.bin -i silent -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=true -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR=InstallDirectory -DTEMPDIR=TempDirectory
```
where TempDirectory is a directory to which you have write and execute access. The -DTEMPDIR parameter is required only when you do not have write and execute access to the /tmp directory.

Installing IBM Integration Explorer in silent mode by using a response file

Use the following steps to create the response file and run the installation wizard in silent mode:

Create a response file by using the graphical installation wizard or by manually editing a response file:
- Create a response file during an installation by using the graphical installation wizard. You must provide a full path for the response file, or the response file is not created by the installation wizard.
  Enter the following commands into a command prompt:
  - On Windows:
```
install.exe -r <filepath>
```
  - On Linux:
```
install.bin -r <filepath>
```
  This command starts the GUI installation as normal, except that it also records all your answers and saves them in the file you specified, for example, c:\temp\ibx-response.properties. You can then use this response file with the silent installer for subsequent installations of IBM Integration Explorer.
- Alternatively, use the supplied template in the samples-scripts directory in the root directory of the local or remote DVD, or the network drive. Or use the following template to create a response file manually:
  Note: The ibx-response.properties file that is supplied on the Installation media has LICENSE_ACCEPTED=FALSE so you must override this setting on the command line, or copy and update the file to indicate your acceptance of the license.

To run the installation wizard in silent mode with the response file, run the following command:
- On Windows:
```
install.exe -f <filename>
```
- On Linux:
```
install.bin -f <filename>
```
where <filename> is the path to the response file, for example: d:\integrationbus_runtime1\sample-scripts\ibx-response.properties.

You can now use the IBM Integration Explorer. To use the IBM Integration Explorer you must start the WebSphere® MQ Explorer. To start the WebSphere MQ Explorer, complete one of the following steps:

On Windows:
Click Start > All Programs > IBM WebSphere MQ > WebSphere MQ Explorer, or, on a command line in which the mqsiprofile command has not been run, enter the strmqcfg command.
On Linux:
Open a command shell in which the mqsiprofile command has not been run and enter the strmqcfg command, or run /usr/bin/strmqcfg.

When you have completed installation, see Verifying your IBM Integration Bus installation.
