response file for silent installation

response file for silent installation

Hello folks

I need a hint with silent installation on Linux

If I go with a binary install file and provide options -i console then I have to specify all the parameters interactively during installation

Meanwhile, the is an option to generate a response file and probably use it later for a silent installation but I cannot find any documentation on how to handle it


Usage: ManageEngine_ServiceDeskPlus [-f <path_to_installer_properties_file> | -options]
            (to execute the installer)

where options include:
    -?          show this help text
    -h          show this help text
    -help       show this help text
    --help      show this help text
    -i [swing | console | silent]
            specify the user interface mode for the installer
    -D<name>=<value>
            specify installer properties
    -r <path_to_generate_response_file>
            Generates response file.
JVM heap size options are only applicable to Installers
    -jvmxms <size>
            Specify JVM initial heap size.
    -jvmxmx <size>
            Specify JVM maximum heap size.
The options field may also include the following in case of uninstaller
if it is enabled for Maintenance Mode
    -add <feature_name_1> [<feature_name_2 ...]
            Add Specified Features
    -remove <feature_name_1> [<feature_name_2 ...]
            Remove Specified Features
    -repair
            Repair Installation
    -uninstall
            Uninstall

notes:
    1. the path to the installer properties file may be either absolute,
       or relative to the directory in which the installer resides.
    2. if an installer properties file is specified and exists, all other
       command line options will be ignored.
    3. if a properties file named either 'installer.properties' or
       <NameOfInstaller>.properties resides in the same directory as the
       installer, it will automatically be used, overriding all other command
       line options, unless the '-f' option is used to point to another valid
       properties file.
    4. if an installer properties file is specified but does not exist, the
       default properties file, if present, will be used.  Otherwise, any
       supplied command line options will be used, or if no additional
       options were specified, the installer will be run using the default
       settings.
