# Installing the server noninteractively

For an automated installation, run the `setup` tool in noninteractive, command-line mode.

## Before you begin

Be prepared to provide the following settings using command-line arguments:

* The location of a valid license file

* The name and password for an administrative account, which is also called the root user distinguished name (DN).

* An available port for PingAuthorize Server to accept HTTPS requests

* An available LDAPS port for PingAuthorize Server to accept administrative requests

* Information related to the server's connection security, including the location of a keystore that contains the server certificate, the nickname of that server certificate, and the location of a truststore

* The amount of memory to reserve for usage by the Java virtual machine (JVM)

* A unique instance name for the server

## Steps

* Run the `setup` tool to install the server noninteractively.

* For more information about the available setup options, run `setup` with the `--help` argument, which displays a complete list of setup options, along with examples.

  ```shell
  $ ./setup --help
  ```

## Example

The following example sets up PingAuthorize with these settings:

* LDAP port 8389

* LDAPS port 8636

* HTTPS port 8443

* An automatically generated self-signed server certificate

* 1 GB of memory reserved for the server's JVM

* A unique server instance name of `pingauthorize1`

* A server location of `Austin`

```shell
$ ./setup \
  --cli --no-prompt --acceptLicense \
  --licenseKeyFile  <path-to-license>  \
  --rootUserDN "cn=directory manager" \
  --rootUserPassword  <your-password>  \
  --ldapPort 8389 --ldapsPort 8636 \
  --httpsPort 8443 \
  --generateSelfSignedCertificate \
  --maxHeapSize 1g \
  --instanceName pingauthorize1 \
  --location Austin
```
