Can I install Documentum Server 23.2 on a Linux Server without a desktop environment?

Mikael Thorell

I am trying to install Documentum Server 23.2 on a Linux Server without a desktop environment. I am accessing the server via SSH.

My goal was to use the slient option for installation and configuration but I am receiving error messages which I am interpreting as InstallAnywhere having problems in my environment.

Yes you can, you can install x11 and use the graphical interface via ssh, or you can use the silent install scripts for installing without a gui at all (note this doesn't mean you won't need to install some graphical libraries for the installer to run)

Mikael Thorell

Thanks for your answer.

I am looking for a way to automate the setup of a Documentum Server on a linux host without any need of user interaction.

What are the graphical libraries required for the installer to run? Are they included in the serverSetup.bin?

AlvaroDeAndresGomez

No, these are not included. You can run the setup and there will be an error on /tmp/<random folder/scripts. Latest I installed was 23.2 on Arch Linux → https://blog.aldago.es/2023/04/16/documentum-23-2-postgresql-15-2-on-arch-linux-wsl2-install-guide/ You can find there the required libraries I had to install (using GUI but not desktop environment)
