Performing an unattended installation v14
To specify that the installer should run without user interaction, include the --mode unattended
command line option. In unattended mode, the installer uses one of the following sources for configuration parameters:
- Command line options (specified when invoking the installer)
- Parameters specified in an option file
- EDB Postgres Advanced Server installation defaults
You can embed the non-interactive EDB Postgres Advanced Server installer within another application installer; during the installation process, a progress bar allows the user to view the progression of the installation.
You must have administrative privileges to install EDB Postgres Advanced Server using the --mode unattended
option. If you are using the --mode unattended
option to install EDB Postgres Advanced Server with a client, the calling client must be invoked with superuser or administrative privileges.
To start the installer in unattended mode, navigate to the directory that contains the executable file, and enter:
edb-as14-server-14.x.x-x-windows-x64.exe --mode unattended --superpassword database_superuser_password --servicepassword system_password
When invoking the installer, include the --servicepassword
option to specify an operating system password for the user installing EDB Postgres Advanced Server.
Use the --superpassword
option to specify a password that conforms to the password security policies defined on the host; enforced password policies on your system may not accept the default password (enterprisedb)
