Administrators can silently upgrade or install IBM® Connections for Mac from the
Terminal application. User notification is disabled during the silent
installation, except in error cases such as notification of failed
prerequisites.
About this task
A silent installation uses the same installation program
that the graphical user interface (GUI) version uses. However, instead
of displaying a wizard interface, the silent installation reads all
of your responses from parameters that you pass to the command line.
In order for the installation to work successfully, you must run the
silent installation from the directory where you extracted the plug-in
files. You must be running OS X 10.8 or later.
Procedure
- Download the plug-in from the IBM Connections Cloud download package or from the IBM Connections catalog at the following website:
- Extract the file.
- Open a Terminal window and navigate to the directory where
you saved IBMConnectionsMac.pkg.
- Type
sudo Installer -pkg <package name> -target
<destination volume>.
