Installing the command-line client

The command-line client is available in an archive file that you can download from the server.

Before you begin

Make sure that the JAVA_HOME system variable is set to the location of a JRE or JVM.

About this task

Beginning with HCL Launch version 6.1, the command-line client is installed on agents automatically. The client is in the folder agent_install/opt/udclient.

Procedure

  1. To install the tool, download the udclient.zip file to the system on which you want to use the tool.
    You can download the file from the HCL Launch server by clicking Help > Tools and then clicking HCL Launch Client. You can also find the file in the folder server_install/opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/tools/, where server_install is the installation folder for the server.
  2. Extract the file.
  3. Optional: Set system variables such as DS_WEB_URL so you do not have to specify credentials each time you run a command.
