How to perform an automated installation

The Erudine Behaviour Engine installation consists of a Java Jar file, ErudineBehaviourEngineInstall.jar. For Windows users, we supply a setup.exe program that launches ErudineBehaviourEngineInstall.jar. To perform an automated installation, you must invoke ErudineBehaviourEngineInstall.jar directly from a command prompt specifying an XML Script on the command line. The ErudineBehaviourEngineInstall.jar is included with the setup.exe file in the root directory of the Erudine Behaviour Engine.

The XML Script is obtained by running through the normal installation and saving the script on the final screen:

Click the Save button to create an XML Script replicating the installation, including all of the settings made during the installation process.

Please Note: The XML Script is platform specific. For example, a script created on a Windows installation cannot be used for a subsequent automated installation on a Linux machine.

To use the XML Script to perform an automated installation you should not use the setup.exe and must invoke ErudineBehaviourEngineInstall.jar directly instead by entering the command java -jar ErudineBehaviourEngineInstall.jar install.xml.

"install.xml" is the full path to the XML Script you created during the initial normal installation. The following screen shows the automated installation being run on a Windows machine:

Automated installation can be used for large enterprise rollouts.
