  • Interactive Installer

    From gargoyle60@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 25 11:32:28 2016
    I have a download of the Interactive Installer (postgresql-9.3.7-1-linux-x64.run) from the
    EnterpriseDB site and was wondering if it is possible to bypass the interactive state and use any
    command line switches. Does anybody know the syntax?

    You have downloaded the 'Interactive Installer', and now you want it to
    be 'non-Interactive' ???

    Also, on enterprisedb.com, i only see versions 9.4 and 9.5, and no
    version 9.3

    But, did you try:
    postgresql-9.3.7-1-linux-x64.run --help

    Or take a look at the docs:
    ( http://get.enterprisedb.com/docs/EDB_Postgres_Advanced_Server_Installation_Guide_v9.5.pdf
    )
    4.4.4 Reference - Command Line Options

    Indeed! Why? Because I wanted the specific verson as a self-contained installer for different
    machines.

    But, did you try:
    postgresql-9.3.7-1-linux-x64.run --help

    Yes, after trying -h and /? and so on.
    I have since run it as non-interactive, although it doesn't run strictly as I imagined because it
    still requires interaction (clicking Next/Continue), but at least I can standardise the switches
    across my different machines and speed things up a bit..

    Maybe write an Ansible script?
