It is possible to install MonolixSuite with a silent installer mode, i.e. without any user interaction. It is particularly convenient on systems without interface (typically cluster) and when you want to install it on a lot of machines in a network.
MonolixSuite2024R1
The MonolixSuite2024R1 installer includes a silent mode.
The installer can be used in commandline with the following commands and options:
Commands:
- in, install: Install packages and aliases given as an argument. If no arguments are given, install the default package
- pr, purge: Uninstall all packages and remove the program directory. (to be used with the Uninstaller executable)
- activationKey: given as activationKey=”XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX” in combination with install
Options:
- -am, -accept-messages: Accepts all message queries without user input.
- -al, -accept-licenses: Accepts all licenses without user input.
- -c, -confirm-command: Confirms starting of installation, update or removal of components without user input.
- -t, –root <directory>: Set the installation root directory.
Thus, to install MonolixSuite in one line, the command is:
./monolixSuite2024R1 in activationKey="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" --am --al --c
If the activation key is incorrect or not given, MonolixSuite will be installed and will ask for a license when the software is launched. If a previous version is already installed with a valid license, it is not necessary to provide an activation key.
MonolixSuite2023R1 and older
You need to download the files controlscript_lixoftsuite_silent.qs as well as silentInstall_monolixSuite.sh.
Save the two files in the same folder as the file monolixsuite2023R1-installer (download page), and launch the following command line in that folder:
./silentInstall_monolixSuite.sh
You can then use licenseActivate script in the installation folder (in subfolder lib/) to provide the key, like this:
./licenseActivate --key <key>
Some important points:
-
- It only works for Linux operating system. For windows operating system, you need to accept to install it as an administrator and accept the installation of the Visual Redistribute.
- It is possible to change the installation directory by modifying the file controlscript_lixoftsuite_silent.qs on line 104.
- If you are installing older MonolixSuite versions, you should use:
- For 2021R2: ./silentInstall_monolixSuite2021R2.sh where the files can be downloaded here
- For 2021R1: ./silentInstall_monolixSuite2021R1.sh where the files can be downloaded here
- For 2020R1: ./silentInstall_monolixSuite2020R1.sh where the files can be downloaded here
- For 2019R2: ./silentInstall_monolixSuite2019R2.sh where the files can be downloaded here
- For 2019R1: ./silentInstall_monolixSuite2019R1.sh where the files can be downloaded here

- For 2018R1: ./silentInstall_monolixSuite2018R1.sh where the files can be downloaded here
There is no option to uninstall MonolixSuite with a silent command.
