Installing CityEngine silently—ArcGIS CityEngine Resources

How to install CityEngine silently on Linux

Note:

To run the silent installation on Linux, you must run the setup with sudo privileges as shown in the steps below. For instructions on how to add a user to the sudoers list, consult the Linux OS documentation.

If you do not have sudoer privileges, you can run the graphical setup but you must manually run the FNP Service setup script after the CityEngine setup completes. Running the FNP Service setup script requires root or sudo privileges. If you don't run the FNP Service setup script, you cannot authorize with a single-use license.

To install CityEngine silently, complete the following steps:

Read the license agreement at <CD_ROOT or untar directory>/Documentation/EULA.pdf and accept the terms.
Run the setup silently and authorize by passing a provisioning file (.prvc).
Sample syntax
```
sudo <CD_ROOT or untar directory>/Setup -m silent -l yes -a <fullpath to .prvc file>
```

A full list of run time switches are described in the tables below


Option	Description
-m, --mode MODE	Optional. The default is gui mode. MODE is either silent or gui. silent: Performs a silent installation. See the silent options table below. gui: X display is required.
-v, --verbose	Run the installer in verbose mode.
-h, --help	Display this help and exit.
-e, --examples	Display usage examples of these options and exit.

The following options are only used for silent installations:


Option	Description
-l, --license-agreement CHOICE	Required for silent mode. CHOICE is either yes or no. Yes indicates that you have read and agreed to the Esri Master Agreement (E204, E300). Go to http://www.esri.com/legal/licensing-translations to read the agreement.
-a, --authorization-file FULL_PATH_TO_AUTHORIZATION_FILE	Optional. If this option is not used, you must authorize the software after installation. FULL_PATH_TO_AUTHORIZATION_FILE is the full, absolute path to a .prvc file provided by Esri.
-d, --directory DIRECTORY	Optional. By default, CityEngine 2023.0 is installed to your ${HOME} directory. DIRECTORY specifies a different installation directory. The /arcgis/CityEngine2023.0 path is appended to the installation directory.
-s, --license-server yourLicenseManagerServer	Optional. This is one of two options to license this product. yourLicenseManagerServer is the name of the License Manager server hosting the CityEngine license. The following are examples: -s myLicenseServer.myDomain.com --license_server myLicenseServer.myDomain.com For a License Manager server that is configured on a custom port, use the following syntax: -s <port>@<License Manager hostname>
