如何通过Shell脚本在CentOS的Vagrant环境中无Puppet安装SoapUI

Question: #

I want to install SoapUI using a shell script with Vagrant, and I don't want to use Puppet (I'm not familiar with it). I've written the following script so far:

# Download SoapUI
echo "Download SoapUI"
cd ~
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.eviware/soapuios/5.4.0/SoapUI-x64-5.4.0.sh
chmod 755 SoapUI-x64-5.4.0.sh
# Install SoapUI
sh ./SoapUI-x64-5.4.0.sh

However, the installation process brings up a console wizard. I want to complete the installation with default values directly (including accepting the license agreement). Has anyone solved this and is willing to share the solution?

Answer: #

Sure thing! I've run into this exact issue before with SoapUI's Install4j-based installer. Here's how you can modify your script to do a fully silent installation with all default settings, including accepting the license agreement automatically:

Modified Shell Script

# Download SoapUI
echo "Downloading SoapUI..."
cd ~
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.eviware/soapuios/5.4.0/SoapUI-x64-5.4.0.sh
chmod 755 SoapUI-x64-5.4.0.sh

# Silent install with default settings and auto-accept license
echo "Installing SoapUI silently..."
sh ./SoapUI-x64-5.4.0.sh --silent --accept-license

What do these parameters do?

• --silent: Tells the Install4j installer to run in non-interactive mode, skipping all console prompts and using default installation settings (like default install directory, components, etc.).
• --accept-license: Automatically accepts the SoapUI license agreement, which is required to proceed with the silent install.

Vagrant Integration Tip

To use this script with Vagrant, just add it as a shell provisioner in your Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  # Your existing VM config goes here...
  
  # Run the SoapUI install script on provision
  config.vm.provision "shell", path: "path/to/your/install_soapui.sh"
end

This will trigger the silent installation automatically when you run vagrant up or vagrant provision.
