Installing Updates

To apply a Designer Update, you must have already installed Designer. Logi Report includes all resolved issues and new features of an Update in JAR files. When you run the installation file for an Update, Logi Report modifies files in the "lib" directory of the existing Designer to apply the changes; therefore, you may want to back up your current Designer installation before applying any Update. This topic describes the methods to install an Update to an existing Designer.

This topic contains the following sections:

• Installing an Update Using the Installation Wizard
• Installing an Update Silently

Installing an Update Using the Installation Wizard

You can install an Update for your Designer using the Installation Wizard in the same way as you install a full GA version. For more information, select the following links:

• Installing Designer on Windows
• Installing Designer on macOS
• Installing Designer on UNIX/Linux

Installing an Update Silently

You can install a Designer Update silently without participation in the installation process on Windows, UNIX, and Linux.

1. Find the file update.properties in <install_root>\help\samples\SilentInstall of the current Designer installation directory. You can use this file to create an option file (that is, response file) for the Installation Wizard, which defines all the information that is required for the installation.
2. Edit update.properties to your own requirements.

   You can also create a property file and save it as follows. Modify the lines according to your own environment and configurations.

   USER_INSTALL_DIR=<designer_install_root>
USER_KEY=UID
USER_PASSWORD=Password

3. Open a console window and change the directory to the location of the installation file.

   $ cd thepath

4. Run commands to install the Update in the designated path:
   • For Windows, run the following command:

     $ designer-xxx-win64.exe -i silent -f update.properties

   • For UNIX/Linux:

     First run the following command to make the installation file executable:

     $ chmod +x designer-xxx-linux.bin

     Then run the command:

     $ ./designer-xxx-linux.bin LAX_VM "USER_JAVA_HOME/bin/java" -i silent -f update.properties

Change designer-xxx-win64.exe or designer-xxx-linux.bin to the real file name of the installation file for the Update/Service Pack.
