Silent Installations

Silent installations are available for several installers: PostgreSQL, Server, Web Services, RESEARCH, MongoDB and RabbitMQ.

To use the silent installations:

Sign into the machine using an administrator account.
Open PowerShell.
Run the silent install commands listed below for each one of the components.
1. Select the relevant PowerShell command according to the type of user you want to run BriefCam’s services (local user or domain user)
2. Fill out all the relevant parameters and pay special attention to SERVER_DOMAIN and SERVER_USER – These parameters must be case sensitive.

Note that:

In the commands below, you can change the APPDIR parameter to: "C:\Program Files\Briefcam" instead of using the env variable.
Special characters are not supported for passwords.
