Performing an express installation of microservices on a machine running Unix

Unix has its own script that you can run to perform an express installation of multiple microservices.

Procedure

  1. On the SDL Tridion Docs 14 installation media, navigate to the folder Content Delivery\resources\quickinstall\.
  2. Open setenv.sh for editing.
  3. Configure logging locations, database locations and credentials, and Content Deployer folders for incoming content.
  4. Save and close setenv.sh.
  5. Open a command shell.
  6. On the command prompt, type quickinstall.sh but do not press Enter.
  7. Select the command line switches you want to apply and enter them. Specify normal switches with a -- prefix, short switches with a -. If your switch takes a value, put a space between your switch and its value. For example:
    ./quickinstall.sh --dx --enable-discovery --enable-deployer --enable-content -s /home/../roles
    in which:
    • --dx, --enable-discovery, --enable-deployer and --enable-content are normal switches, which take no value
    • -s is a short switch (the long form would be --services-location), which takes the value /home/../roles
  8. Press Enter to run the script.
