Creating a properties file on Linux

To install testing products in the silent mode, you must first create a properties file that contains the data required to install the product. Alternatively, you can generate the properties file by using the stand-alone installer.

About this task

You can create the properties file by using one of the following methods:

Generating the properties file by using the stand-alone installer. See steps 1 through 4 .
Copying the contents of the sample properties file to your local properties file. See 5.

Procedure

Download the product stand-alone installer from the HCL License & Delivery portal.
You can download the appropriate product variant, version, and architecture based on your requirements.
Note: When you want to install both HCL OneTest™ UI and HCL OneTest™ Performance on your computer, you can install the products by using a single shell-shared HCL OneTest UI and Performance installer that is available in the HCL License & Delivery portal.
Open the terminal and log in as a root user.
Change the directory to where you have downloaded the installer file by running the following command:
```
cd <directory path>
```
For example, cd root/Downloads/HCL-OneTest-<Product_Name>-Linux-x64-v10.1.2.bin_10.1.2.v20201105_0440
Run the following command to generate the properties file:
```
<installer_file.bin> -r <location of the installer.properties file>
```
For example, HCL-OneTest-<Product_Name>-Linux-x64-v10.1.2.0.bin -r /root/Downloads/installer.properties

Create your properties file by copying the content of the following sample properties file:

#Host Name 
# Replay feature output
# ---------------------
# This file was built by the Replay feature of Installer.
# It contains variables that were set by Panels, Consoles or Custom Code.



#Destination Folder
#------------------
USER_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/HCL

Results

You have generated or created the properties file.

What to do next
