Install-uipath.sh Parameters

The install-uipath.sh manual installer allows you to customize the installation experience without running the interactive installer (installUiPathAS.sh).

While the manual installer is suitable for advanced scenario, the deployment templates and the interactive installer are still the recommended options.

The install-uipath.sh installer is available in sf-installer.zip. For download instructions, see Downloading installation packages.

Examples

• Install the Kubernetes cluster components on the VM where it is executed, using the online installation method.

  install-uipath.sh -i ./input.json -o ./output.json -k --accept-license-agreement

• Install the Kubernetes components on the VM where it is executed, and join it to the existing cluster as a server, using the online installation method.

  install-uipath.sh -i ./input.json -o ./output.json -k -j server --accept-license-agreement

• Perform the complete installation on the current VM, using the online installation method. Includes the Kubernetes cluster components, the Fabric, and the Uipath services.

  install-uipath.sh -i ./input.json -o ./output.json -a --accept-license-agreement

• Perform the complete installation on the current VM, using the online installation method. This time, skip the prerequisites installation.

  install-uipath.sh -i ./input.json -o ./output.json -a --skip-packages-install --accept-license-agreement

• Perform the Kubernetes cluster installation, using the tarball installation method. Also, join the node to the existing cluster and install all the offline prerequisites.

  install-uipath.sh -i ./input.json -o ./output.json -k -j agent --offline-bundle "/tmp/sf-infra.tar.gz" --accept-license-agreement --install-offline-prereqs

• Install the fabric and services components using the offline installation method, without a temporary folder provided.

  install-uipath.sh -i ./input.json -o ./output.json -f -s --offline-bundle "/tmp/sf-infra.tar.gz" --accept-license-agreement

• Execute the installer for an offline installation, but without loading the artifacts.

  install-uipath.sh -i ./input.json -o ./output.json --install-type offline -s --accept-license-agreement

• Execute the installer skipping the prerequisites check

  install-uipath.sh -i ./input.json -o ./output.json -k --accept-license-agreement --skip-pre-reqs
