Installing the Spotfire Server files (silently on Windows)

Instead of running the installation wizard, you can install the Spotfire Server files silently by running the installer from the command prompt.

Prerequisites

The Spotfire database has been set up within your Oracle or SQL Server database; for instructions, see Setting up the Spotfire database on Oracle or on SQL Server.
Note: For security and product performance reasons, it is recommended that you install Spotfire Server on a different computer than the database.
Note: To use the interactive installation wizard instead of the command prompt installation, see Installing the Spotfire Server files (interactively on Windows).

Procedure

  1. Open a command prompt as an administrator.
  2. If necessary, edit the default parameters. Make sure that none of the ports that you select are already in use.
