About this task

You cannot update, modify, or roll back the product by using the stand-alone installer.

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.

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
Extract the downloaded the product installer file.

Run the following command to start the installation process:

<installer_file.app> -i silent -l <language_code> -f <location of the properties file>

For example, you can install the product in French by running the following command:

DevOps-Test-UI-Mac-v11.0.0.0.app -i silent -l fr -f /Users/Applications/HCL/installer.properties
