Install using GUI mode

In this mode, the installer prompts you to answer questions in dialog boxes. On UNIX, the dialog boxes are based on Motif (or OpenMotif) and require a graphics card on the UNIX machine.

  1. Go to the directory to which you unloaded the product media (V6_Product_Dir).
  2. Launch the installation by running the appropriate command for your operating system.

    On Windows, run the command:

    setup.exe

    On UNIX, run the command:

    ./StartGUI.sh

    Important: Depending on whether the ENOVIA Installer is embedded or not in your product, the procedure differs. If the ENOVIA Installer is embedded, the installation proceeds as normal. If not, you will be prompted to specify the ENOVIA_Installer_Dir directory.

  3. Select the correct ENOVIA_Installer_Dir folder.

    Remember that ENOVIA_Installer_Dir refers to the full path of the ENOVIA Installer.



  4. Click Ok.

    Tip: You can avoid having to select the folder via the dialog box by launching the installation with the -installerPath parameter which specifies the ENOVIA_Installer_Dir folder as follows:

    setup.exe -installerPath C:\Soft\ENOVIA_Installer.Windows64
./StartGUI.sh -installerPath/Soft/ENOVIA_Installer.SLES64

  5. Click Browse and specify the ENOVIA Server Install directory. Click Next.
  6. Browse and specify the installation path. Click Next.
  7. Enter the username and password. Click Next.
  8. Provide AutoVue Server Hostname & Port. Click Next.
  9. The summary of all installation activity is shown. Click Install.

    The Setup completes the installation.

  10. Click Close to exit Setup.

Install using TUI mode

This section describes how to perform an installation in TUI mode. In this mode, the machine does not need a graphics card. The installer prompts you to answer questions in text mode.

The following installer files are available depending on your operating system:

  • Windows OS - The installer file is StartTUI.exe.
  • Unix OS - The installer file is StartTUI.sh.

  1. Open a Command Prompt window on Windows or a shell window on UNIX.
  2. Go to the directory to which you unloaded the product media (V6_Product_Dir).
  3. Launch the installation by running the appropriate command for your operating system.

    The TUI mode, although it asks questions in text format, still requires the dialog box prompting you to specify the ENOVIA_Installer_Dir directory.

    If this is the case, on Windows, run the command:

    StartTUI.exe -UI

    and on UNIX, run the command:

    ./StartTUI.sh -UI

    The same dialog box as the one displayed using the GUI mode will appear.

    You can avoid having to select the folder via the dialog box by launching the installation with the -installerPath parameter which specifies the ENOVIA_Installer_Dir folder 

    StartTUI.exe -installerPath C:\Soft\ENOVIA_Installer.Windows64
    ./StartTUI.sh -installerPath /Soft/ENOVIA_Installer.SLES64

  4. Select the correct ENOVIA_Installer_Dir folder in exactly the same way as in GUI mode, then click OK to continue.
  5. Provide the path of the ENOVIA Server Install directory.
  6. Specify Installation path.
  7. Enter username and password.
  8. Enter AutoVue server hostname & port.
    Installation summary appears
  9. Press Enter to exit setup.
