The TIBCO OpenSpirit Runtime Installation can be performed without the need for a graphical display or user interaction. 
 

This is done by providing the installation settings in a text file and supplying a command line option to the installer to instruct it to run in silent mode. The installation settings must be placed in a file named installer.properties which must be located in the same directory as the install kit. Add -i silent as command line options when running the installer to perform a silent install. The installer.properties file can include options to pass to the Install Config Manager to configure a master or a satellite at the end of the install without the need to run the Install Config Manager interactively.

Templates for an installer.properties file for creating a master and for creating a satellite are provided in the TIBCO software download page for the TIBCO OpenSpirit Runtime product. The properties is slightly different for each version of OpenSpirit; for your convenience, the installer.properties files for OpenSpirit v4.3.0 have been added to this document.

The TIBCO OpenSpirit Runtime installation can be performed without the need for a graphical display or user interaction.
