Configuring a silent installation

On Linux, use the -s option to install Voice Platform silently. For example, use the silent option to install via a script. You do not need to stop or restart services (because the installer does this automatically during the installation).

Before you begin:

• You have reviewed the installation prerequisites. See Before installing Voice Platform.
• You have downloaded and extracted the installer. See Downloading the installer.
• Nuance recommends specifying all known options in your commands. Options are often used in combinations where one option requires another. Specifying all known options helps avoid errors caused by missing parameters. See the examples for ideas about how options are used together in different contexts.

You can change to the Nuance_Voice_Platform_for_Speech_Suite_version directory and enter ./setup.sh -h for a list of all options.

Note: If the syntax contains errors, such as incorrect format or invalid values, the installation might switch from silent to standard or not complete successfully.

Procedure

To install Voice Platform silently on Linux:

1. Log in to the host as root.
2. Change directory to Nuance_Voice_Platform_for_Speech_Suite_version..
3. Run these commands to install Voice Platform silently, depending on your deployment:

   This example command installs Voice Platform. Use this command when Voice Platform and Management Station are on the same host. Since Management Station is on this host, the environment variables for Java and Tomcat are already set, so only -s is required.

   > ./setup.sh -s

   This example command installs Voice Platform, sets the locations for Java (-j) and Tomcat (-o), and connects to a Management Station host (-m). Use this command when Voice Platform and Management Station are on separate hosts. If the host is running Nuance speech software, which requires Java, -j is not required.

   > ./setup.sh -sj /usr/java/version -o /tmp/apache-tomcat-version -m address:8080

   Note: The use (or lack) of spaces in the examples is deliberate.

4. Review the message under Install Completed to verify that the installation has completed.
5. Start the Voice Platform services to confirm the installation completed successfully. See Testing the installation.

Silent options for Linux

The table describes the available options on a silent install. Values containing spaces must be enclosed in quotes (“ “).

-h	Not applicable	Displays this usage information.
-j	No default	Java location. Required only if installing Voice Platform on a host without Management Station or Nuance speech software.
-L	/tmp/nvp-setup.log	Installation log output.
-m	localhost:8080	Comma-separated list of Management Station addresses.
-o	No default	Installation path to the Tomcat directory. Required only if installing Voice Platform on a host without Management Station.
-p	/usr/local	Installation path to Nuance directory.
-R	Not applicable	Removes all product installation packages (rpms), including language and voice.
