Default properties file
The installer installs the ControlTier software using configuration data located in the "default.properties" file at the root of the package extraction directory. The default.properties file contains several dozen configuration settings governing everything such as: install directories, network ports, smtp, hostname, user names, and project settings.
You can edit this file and customize any of the settings. When you run the installer, it loads the settings and then begins the installation process.
For users automating the installer, see #Overriding defaults
Running
Default install
You can run the installer without any arguments to install the ControlTier software according to the defaults.
Unix
sh ./install.sh
Windows
install.bat
Client install
You can instruct the installer to only install the client software via the "-c" flag.
Unix
sh ./install.sh -c
Windows
install.bat -c
Overriding defaults
Any property defined in defaults.properties can be overridden from the command line using the "-Dkey=val" option. Multiple pairs of key=val option can be specified at one time.
The example below shows how to install just the client but override two defaults:
sh ./install.sh --client\ -Dserver.hostname=adminhost.domain \ -Dclient.hostname=`hostname`
