Network Installation with BIM Collab (AC 26)

Hello,

 

We would like to use the network installation. If possible, we would love to batch install a few Add-ons, such as BIM Collab. Is it possible in the option file, or we just set up something else? There is the "--enable-components" option, but it doesn't look like it's the right thing.

 

Thank you

the --enable-components option is only for the components part of the main archicad install.

The following options for the main archicad installer are available:
ARCHICAD26  (or the relevant version you are installing)

Library

GRAPHISOFTShellExtension

BIMxDesktopViewerInstaller

LicenseManagerToolInstaller

 

The Goodies Installer has a similar argument to define which goodies you may want to install.

Add --help to the end of the executable to see a list of all the available arguments and their options.

 

If you want to install other addons, you could need to create a batch script to run their separate installers after you have run the archicad installer.

 

More info about the arguments for the Archicad installer is available here:

Thank you Scott, it is then as I thought. I'll do a batch script for the rest.

 

I indeed would like to install the components and am looking for the proper naming. These should list using the option --help in the terminal:

Command Line Parameters:

--enable-components

followed by a comma-separated list of the allowed (non-default) components to install.

To see list of allowed components: type  --help.

 

Trying to run the path in the documentation fails, where do we get the installer app?

Archicad\26\Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh --mode unattended

From my limited knowledge of MacOS my guess would be potentially inside the DMG.

 

I'm a windows user sorry.

It isn't unfortunately. I tried also to re-install altogether.

Today I'll do it in the office, on Win (I am at home now at the Mac).

 

It might simply be a copy-paste left over in the documentation from AC 20 or before.

I am on Archicad only since 6 months and reading all I can.
