- You can run the Installation Wizard in two modes: batch and gui.
- It's root directory contains python script runInstall:
-
- [python] runInstall [-g|b] [-f <xml-file>] [-t <taget-dir>] [-tmp <tmp-dir>]
-
- -g
- Runs the Installation Wizard in the GUI mode. In this case
- only <xml-file> key is taken into account.
- This option is used by default.
-
- -b
- Runs the Installation Wizard in the batch mode.
-
- -f <xml-file>
- The configuration file to be used by the Installation Wizard.
- If this parameter is missed then the script tries to define
- automatically the Linux platform and use the corresponding xml file
- if there is one provided.
- For example, for Linux Mandrake 10.1 config_Mandrake_10.1.xml file
- will be used by default. If the appropriate file is not found,
- default config.xml will be used. This file contains default
- installation settings. From SALOME version 3.0.0
- the default target platform is Linux Mandrake 10.1.
-
- -t <target-dir>
- The target directory SALOME products to be installed to.
- If used, overloads target directory, given in the
- configuration xml file (usually /salome).
-
- -tmp <tmp-dir>
- The directory, which is used to contain temporary files.
- If used, overloads temporary directory, given in the
- configuration xml file (usually /tmp).
-
- -h
- Prints help information.
+ Currently the Installation Wizard can be launched only in the
+ GUI mode. The batch mode is unavailable in this version, but
+ eventually it will become available. The root directory of
+ the Installation Wizard contains Python script runInstall.
+ To run the Installation Wizard type runInstall in the terminal
+ window:
+
+ [ python ] runInstall [<options>]
+
+ Without any options this script will launch the SALOME Installation
+ Wizard in the default mode (GUI) with the default installation
+ parameters. The default mode can be overridden by using command
+ line options. Each option has short and long notations:
+
+ -g / --gui
+
+ Runs the Installation Wizard in the GUI mode (this is the default
+ mode).
+
+ -f FILE / --file=FILE
+
+ Defines the XML configuration file to be used by the Installation
+ Wizard. If the appropriate file is not found, the warning message
+ box is shown (in GUI mode). If this option is not used, the
+ installation script tries to define the Linux version and use the
+ corresponding XML file.
+
+ -d DIR / --target=DIR
+
+ Defines the target directory for SALOME platform installation.
+ If used, this option overrides the default target directory,
+ indicated in the configuration XML file (usually
+ ${HOME}/salome_<version>, see here for more details).
+
+ -t DIR / --tmp=DIR
+
+ Defines the directory for temporary files. If used, this
+ option overrides the default temporary directory, indicated in
+ the configuration xml file (usually /tmp, see here for more
+ details).
+
+ -h / --help
+
+ Prints help information about available options.
+
+ -v / --version
+
+ Prints version information (Note: this is the version number of
+ the Installation Wizard, not of the SALOME platform).
