Unattended DataStax Enterprise 4.8 installer

Install DataStax Enterprise using the command line or properties file.

From a terminal window:

1. Download the installer for your computer from the DataStax download page or use the following command:

   curl --user dsa_email_address:password -O https://downloads.datastax.com/enterprise/DataStaxEnterprise-4.8.X-linux-x64-installer.run
   

2. Change the permission on the file to executable:

   $ chmod +x DataStaxEnterprise-4.8.x-linux-x64-installer.run

3. You can either use the command line or a properties file.

   Command line installation:

   $ sudo ./DataStaxEnterprise-4.8.X-linux-x64-installer.run --option argument --option argument ... --option argument --mode unattended

   For available options, see the table below. Be sure to add "--" to the option. For example:

   $ sudo ./DataStaxEnterprise-4.8.X-linux-x64-installer.run --prefix /usr/share/dse --enable_vnodes 0 --mode unattended --prefix /usr/share/dse

   The installer uses the default value for any --option that is not specified.

   Properties file installation:

   $ sudo ./DataStaxEnterprise-4.8.X-linux-x64-installer.run --optionfile option_file_name --mode unattended

   where option_file_name is the name of the file containing the installation options. For example:

   $ sudo ./DataStaxEnterprise-4.8.X-linux-x64-installer.run --optionfile ../datastax/DC4-analytics.prop --mode unattended

   Property file format: option=argument. For example:

   enable-components=devcenter_linux_x86_64
   install_type=simple
   update_system=1

   The property file options are the same as the command line options (without the --).

   Note: You can download a sample_install_4.8.prop file from the DataStax Enterprise download page.

   cassandra_yaml_template	file_name	Use this cassandra.yaml file as the template for the node's cassandra.yaml file.
   dse_yaml_template	file_name	Use this dse.yaml file as the template for the node's dse.yaml file.
   cassandra_logs_dir	directory	Directory for log files.
   do_drain	0 (no) or 1 (yes)	Drain the node before installing. Default: 1
   install_type	simple or advanced	Default: simple

DSE Search (Solr) nodes - DSE Search (DataStax Enterprise Search) simplifies using search applications for data that is stored in a Cassandra database.
   analytics_type	Use one of the following: spark_only spark_integrated	Type of analytics node. spark_only - only enable Spark. spark_integrated- enable Spark + Integrated Hadoop (DSE Hadoop).
   cassandra_user	user_name	User name for running service. Because the DataStax Agent relies on usercassandra, DataStax does not recommend changing the default. If changed, you must manually install, update, and configure the DataStax Agent.
