ftos-installer
Advanced tools
FTOS Installation preparation CLI app, walks you through creating an install.bat file. When you run it, it will install the FintechOS framework -- provided the resources are available.
CLI app to assist the installation process of FintechOS framework
ftosinInstall the package globally. The global install provides the ftosin CLI command, which is the only way to use this package.
npm install ftos-installer -g
Check ftosin is available as a command:
ftosin -h
Usage: ftosin [options]
Generate install.bat for FintechOS Framework. Provide your values or accept suggested values.
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-d, --defaults [file] Filename or full path to file with default values (default: "ftos-defaults.json")
--no-pause skip creating pause command in install.bat
--no-verify do not check paths are valid
--no-database skip installing instance database
--no-studio skip installing instance Studio
--no-portal skip installing instance Portal
-s, --save [file] save answers to default answers file (default: "ftos-defaults.json")
-t, --template <file> install .bat template file with .handlebars extension (default: "C:\\Users\\ion.gireada\\Documents\\VSCodeProjects\\ftos-installer\\install.handlebars")
-o, --output <file> full path to generated install file, or filename (default: "install.bat")
-h, --help output usage information
Creating install.bat
ftosin --no-verify
ftosin will prompt you for installation details, and creates the install.bat in current folder.
ftosin collects information from the user, and then it generates an install.bat file. The user will run the install.bat file as Administrator to install the FintechOS Framework.
When you run ftosin, you are asked to provide installation information such as path to installation kit, instance name, path to Studio and Portal applications, etc.
Most information items have a default value. To accept the default value, simply press Enter. ftosin provides these default values using previous information.
Following the installation information questions, you will review the generated content, and asked to confirm it. If you confirm it, the content is saved in the install.bat.
At the command prompt, type:
mkdir C:\Users\default\Documents\FintechOS-Installations
cd C:\Users\default\Documents\FintechOS-Installations
ftosin --no-verify --output ./v20-install/install-SheldonG20.bat
ftosinftosin --version # or ftosin -V
Get current version
ftosin -h # or ftosin --help
Get usage information
ftosin --no-verify
Ask installation details to create install.bat in the local folder. Load default detail values from ftos0defaults.json. The --no-verify switch skips checking whether path/to/ftos/GOLD exists.
