Creating a properties file on macOS

To install HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) 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 installer from the HCL® License & Delivery portal.

You must download the appropriate product variant, version, and architecture based on your requirements.

Note: When you want to install both Test UI and Test Performance on your computer, you can install them by using a single shell-shared package. The single shell-shared DevOps-Test-UI-and-Performance package for the 64-bit platform is available in the HCL® License & Delivery portal.
On the 32-bit platform, you must use separate packages of Test UI and Test Performance to install them in the shell-shared mode by using Installation Manager. See Shell sharing with Test Performance.
When you want to install Test Performance Agent in the shell-shared mode with Test UI, you must first install Test UI, and then install Test Performance Agent.
Open the terminal and log in as an administrator.
Run the following command to change the directory to a location where you downloaded the installer file:
```
cd <directory path>
```
For example, cd /Users/username/Downloads
Run the following command to generate the properties file:
```
<installer_file.app> -r <location of the installer.properties file>
```
For example, DevOps-Test-UI-MAC-x64-v10.1.0.0.app -r /Users/Applications/HCL/installer.properties

Create the 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=/Applications/HCL

Results

You have generated or created the properties file.

What to do next

You can install the product by using the silent mode method.
