Installation in Unattended Mode

Timeline installation can run in unattended mode. This option becomes available after a usual Timeline installation by running the installer with an additional parameter and a configuration file. You can display the list of possible commands and parameters executable with Timeline installer script using the --help parameter:

<installer_script>.sh -- --help 
    

Important. You will need to provide active consent to its terms during the installation in unattended mode as well, so we recommend familiarizing yourself with it in advance. You can additionally make sure to display the EULA text by running the installer with a special parameter:

<installer_script>.sh -- --show-eula 
    

In order to do an unattended installation, follow the steps below:

  1. Perform a usual installation by running the installer script with an additional parameter to create a JSON file with the data you provided as answers to the installer prompts:
<installer_script>.sh -- --output <absolute_file_path>.json
    
  1. Follow the installer steps providing configurations you require on the target machine(s) - those on which TL should be set up in unattended mode.
  2. Make sure to save the output file in a convenient and secure location.
  3. Run the installer in unattended mode on the target machine by providing to it the configuration file, created in the previous step. In the same command, provide the --accept-eula parameter, which is as an active consent to the EULA terms, since it cannot be inherited from the configuration file.
<installer_script>.sh -- --accept-eula --input <absolute_file_path>.json
