Linux - Installing IAA Using a Configuration File

You can install the Intrexx Administration API from the command line using a configuration file.

This way, you won't need to enter individual parameters or details—such as the installation directory or ports—interactively during installation. Instead, the setup retrieves the relevant information from the configuration file.

.yml / .yaml

Please note that starting with Intrexx Steady Track 10.1.0, the "yml" file format is used. In previous versions, a .properties file was used.

You can also use "yaml" instead of the "yml" file format.

You must create the .yml file manually.

Installation

Navigate to the "IX_12.X.X" directory containing the installation files.

Start the installation with the following command:

./setup.sh -t --configFile=<path-to-configuration-file>configuration.yml

configuration.yml

Below is an example of a configuration file that includes the installation of the Intrexx Administration API.

Create your own configuration file with the information that applies to you.

Delete the configuration file after installation
After installing the Intrexx Administration API, it is recommended that you delete the manually created configuration.yml file, as it contains passwords in plain text.
You can set a new password for IAA users at any time. See the section " Passwords / License" for more information.
