Command-Line Arguments

Overview

All options that can be specified in the custom properties file may also be set as command-line arguments. Options specified as command-line arguments take precedence over options set in the custom properties file. When including values with spaces or special shell characters, remember to perform any necessary escaping of values. These examples show the commands to launch the installer with selected options specified on the command-line (each command should be a single line but is shown on multiple lines for clarity):

java -jar yellowfin-yyyymmdd-full.jar
	lang=en
	option.winservice=true
	option.serverport=8090
	"installer.title.msg=Welcome to the Yellowfin installer"

yellowfin-yyyymmdd-full.exe
	lang=en
	option.winservice=true
	option.serverport=8090
	"installer.title.msg=Welcome to the Yellowfin installer"

When using the -gui, -cmd, or -silent switches, these must be the first argument after the installer file:

java -jar yellowfin-yyyymmdd-full.jar -cmd
	lang=en
	option.winservice=true
	option.serverport=8090
	"installer.title.msg=Welcome to the Yellowfin installer"
