MonolixSuite silent installer

It is possible to install MonolixSuite with a silent installer mode, i.e. without any user interaction. It is particularly convenient on systems without interface (typically cluster) and when you want to install it on a lot of machines in a network.

MonolixSuite2024R1

The MonolixSuite2024R1 installer includes a silent mode.

The installer can be used in commandline with the following commands and options:

Commands:

in, install: Install packages and aliases given as an argument. If no arguments are given, install the default package
pr, purge: Uninstall all packages and remove the program directory. (to be used with the Uninstaller executable)
activationKey: given as activationKey=”XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX” in combination with install

Options:

-am, -accept-messages: Accepts all message queries without user input.
-al, -accept-licenses: Accepts all licenses without user input.
-c, -confirm-command: Confirms starting of installation, update or removal of components without user input.
-t, –root <directory>: Set the installation root directory.

Thus, to install MonolixSuite in one line, the command is:

CODE

./monolixSuite2024R1 in activationKey="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" --am --al --c

If the activation key is incorrect or not given, MonolixSuite will be installed and will ask for a license when the software is launched. If a previous version is already installed with a valid license, it is not necessary to provide an activation key.

MonolixSuite2023R1 and older

You need to download the files controlscript_lixoftsuite_silent.qs as well as silentInstall_monolixSuite.sh .

Save the two files in the same folder as the file monolixsuite2023R1-installer, and launch the following command line in that folder:

CODE

./silentInstall_monolixSuite.sh

You can then use licenseActivate script in the installation folder (in subfolder lib/) to provide the key, like this:

CODE

./licenseActivate --key <key>

Some important points:

It only works for Linux operating system. For windows operating system, you need to accept to install it as an administrator and accept the installation of the Visual Redistribute.
- It is possible to change the installation directory by modifying the file controlscript_lixoftsuite_silent.qs on line 104.
- If you are installing older MonolixSuite versions, you should use:
  - For 2021R2: ./silentInstall_monolixSuite2021R2.sh silent2021R2.zip
  - For 2021R1: ./silentInstall_monolixSuite2021R1.sh silent2021R1.zip
  - For 2020R1: ./silentInstall_monolixSuite2020R1.sh silent2020R1.zip
  - For 2019R2: ./silentInstall_monolixSuite2019R2.sh silent2019R2.zip
  - For 2019R1: ./silentInstall_monolixSuite2019R1.sh silent2019R1.zip
  - For 2018R2: ./silentInstall_monolixSuite2018R2.sh silent2018R2.zip
  - For 2018R1: ./silentInstall_monolixSuite2018R1.sh silent2018R1.zip

There is no option to uninstall MonolixSuite with a silent command.
