Use silent mode to upgrade archive installation

To upgrade an archive installation without using a graphical interface, use the Pentaho Upgrade Installer in silent mode from a command line.

Perform the following steps to upgrade an archive installation in silent mode:

1. Exit out of any Pentaho products you are currently running.

   If you are upgrading your Pentaho Server, stop the server. For instructions on stopping the server, see Stop and start the Pentaho Server and repository.

2. At the command line, enter one of the following commands to run the installer and start the upgrade process:

   • Linux

     ./pentaho-update-<version>.bin -i silent -DEULA=true -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR=<dir> -DHASH_FILE_ZIP=installer-hash-files-<version>.zip

   • Windows

     pentaho-update-<version>.exe -i silent -DEULA=true -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR=<dir> -DHASH_FILE_ZIP=installer-hash-files-<version>.zip

   When the server upgrade process is complete, the console displays an exit code.

3. If any errors occur, review the log file generated by the installer.

   The default location of the log file is <*root installation directory*>/*Pentaho\_\_Installation*/logs.

4. If you are upgrading your Pentaho Server, restart the server.

   For instructions on starting the server, see Stop and start the Pentaho Server and repository.

After upgrading your Pentaho products to version 10.2, complete the Post-upgrade tasks to verify that your Pentaho configuration is ready to use.
