About this task

You can use the stand-alone installer and the product in your preferred language. The display language of your computer is selected as the preferred language of the stand-alone installer. For example, if the display language of your computer is set as French, then the preferred language of the stand-alone installer is also selected as French.

You can change the language of the stand-alone installer and the product by providing the -l language_code parameter during the installation of the product.

If you decided to configure the agent, later, then you can update the parameter values in the Majordomo.config file. The Majordomo.config file is at the following location:

\HCL\DevOpsTest\Majordomo.config

Note: The SERVER_URL_ALIAS parameter name is shown as a slug in the Majordomo.config file.
