ACCEPT_EULA=accept

• This directive tells the install program that the invoking user has agreed to the End User License Agreement or EULA. This is a mandatory option and MUST be set to 'accept'. If this is not present in the configuration file, the installation will not complete. By using the silent installation program you are accepting the EULA.
• The EULA is a plain text file “/Volumes/m_ccompxe_2016[_beta].u.vvv/m_ccompxe_2016[_beta].u.vvv.app/Contents/Resources/pset/license.txt” directory. Read this before proceeding as using the silent installer means you have read and agree to the EULA. If you have questions, see our Get Help page for your support options.

CONTINUE_WITH_OPTIONAL_ERROR

• This directive controls behavior when the installer encounters an 'optional' error. These errors are non-fatal errors and will not prevent the installation to proceed if the user has set CONTINUE_WITH_OPTIONAL_ERROR=yes. Fatal errors found during installation will cause the installer to abort with appropriate messages printed.
• CONTINUE_WITH_OPTIONAL_ERROR=yes directs the installer to ignore non-fatal installation issues and continue with the installation.
• CONTINUE_WITH_OPTIONAL_ERROR=no directs the installer to abort with appropriate warning messages for the non-fatal error found during the installation.

PSET_INSTALL_DIR

• This directive specifies the target directory for the installation. The Intel Compilers default to /opt/intel for installation target. Set this directive to the root directory for the final compiler installation.

CONTINUE_WITH_INSTALLDIR_OVERWRITE

• Determines the behavior of the installer if the PSET_INSTALL_DIR already contains files.
• CONTINUE_WITH_INSTALLDIR_OVERWRITE=yes directs the installer to overwrite the existing files if they conflict with the files in the package.
• CONTINUE_WITH_INSTALLDIR_OVERWRITE=no directs the installer to exit if some files are already in PSET_INSTALL_DIR.

COMPONENTS

• A typical compiler package contains multiple sub-packages, such as MKL, IPP, TBB, DAAL, Debugger, etc. This directive allows the user to control which sub-packages to install.
• COMPONENTS=DEFAULTS directs the installer to install the pre-determined default packages for the product (recommended setting). The defaults may not include some sub-packages deemed non-essential or special purpose. An example is the cluster components of MKL, which are only needed in a distributed memory installation. If you're not sure of the defaults you can do a trial installation of the compiler in interactive mode and select CUSTOMIZE installation to see and select components.
• COMPONENTS=ALL directs the installer to install all packages for the product.
• COMPONENTS=<pattern> allows the user to specify which components to install. The components vary by compiler version and package. The components should be enclosed in double-quotes and semi-colon separated. For a list of component, grep for the <Abbr> tags in <installation directory>/uninstall.app/mediaconfig.xml, such as this :
  • cd < installation directory>/uninstall.app
  • grep Abbr mediaconfig.xml

or run trial installation in “duplicate mode” that will create the custom configuration file with the components you select in interactive mode (see details below)

PSET_MODE

• Sets the installer mode. The installer can install, remove, modify, or repair an installation.
• PSET_MODE=install directs the installer to perform an installation
• PSET_MODE=uninstall directs the installer to remove a previous installation. If multiple versions of the compiler are installed, the installer removes the most recent installation. This information is kept in the RPM database or the non-rpm database depending on the mode used for the installation.
• PSET_MODE=modify allows the user to redo an installation. The most common scenario is to overwrite an existing installation with more COMPONENTS set or unset.
• PSET_MODE=repair directs the installer to retry an installation again, checking for missing or damaged files, directories, and symbolic links, permissions, etc.

NONRPM_DB_DIR

• This directive can be used to override the default directory(/opt/intel) for the installation database. The format for this directive is:
• NONRPM_DB_DIR=/path/to/your/db/directory

ACTIVATION_TYPE=exist_lic

• This directive tells the install program to look for an existing license during the install process. This is the preferred method for silent installs. Take the time to register your serial number and get a license file (see below). Having a license file on the system simplifies the process. In addition, as an administrator it is good practice to know WHERE your licenses are saved on your system. License files are plain text files with a .lic extension. By default these are saved in “/Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses”.
• Options for ACTIVATION_TYPE are {exist_lic, license_file, server_lic, serial_number, trial_lic}
• exist_lic directs the installer to search for a valid license on the server. Searches will utilize the environment variable INTEL_LICENSE_FILE or search the default license directory “/Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses” to find a valid license file.
• license_file is similar to exist_lic but directs the installer to use ACTIVATION_LICENSE_FILE to find the license file.
• license_server is similar to exist_lic and license_file but directs the installer that this is a client installation and a floating license server will be contacted to activate the product. This option will contact your floating license server on your network to retrieve the license information. BEFORE using this option make sure your client is correctly set up for your network including all networking, routing, name service, and firewall configuration. Insure that your client has direct access to your floating license server and that firewalls are set up to allow TCP/IP access for the 2 license server ports. license_server will use INTEL_LICENSE_FILE containing a port@host format OR a client license file. The formats for these are described here https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/licensing-setting-up-the-client-floating-license.
• serial_number directs the installer to use directive ACTIVATION_SERIAL_NUMBER for activation. This method will require the installer to contact an external Intel activation server over the Internet to confirm your serial number. Due to user and company firewalls, this method is more complex and hence error prone of the available activation methods. We highly recommend using a license file or license server for activation instead.
• trial_lic is used only if you do not have an existing license and intend to temporarily evaluate the compiler. This method creates a temporary trial license in Trusted Storage on your system.
• No license file but you have a serial number? If you have only a serial number, please visit https://registrationcenter.intel.com to register your serial number. As part of registration, you will receive email with an attached license file. If your serial is already registered and you need to retrieve a license file, read this: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/how-do-i-manage-my-licenses
• Save the license file in “/Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses” directory, or in your preferred directory and set INTEL_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to this non-default location. If you have already registered your serial number but have lost the license file, revisit https://registrationcenter.intel.com and click on the hyperlinked product name to get to a screen where you can cut and paste or mail yourself a copy of your registered license file.

ACTIVATION_LICENSE_FILE

• This directive instructs the installer where to find your named-user or client license. The format is:
• ACTIVATION_LICENSE_FILE=/use/a/path/to/your/licensefile.lic where licensefile.lic is the name of your license file.

ACTIVATION_SERIAL_NUMBER

• This directive instructs the installer which serial number to use to activate the product. The format is
• ACTIVATION_SERIAL_NUMBER= ABCD-01234567.

PHONEHOME_SEND_USAGE_DATA

• This directive guides the installer in the user's intent for the optional Intel Software Improvement Program. This setting determines whether or not the compiler periodically sends customer usage information back to Intel. The intent is for Intel to gather information on what compiler options are being used, amongst other information. More information on the Intel Software Improvement Program can be found here: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/software-improvement-program.
• PHONEHOME_SEND_USAGE_DATA=no directs the installer to configure the compiler to not send usage data back to the Intel Software Improvement Program.
• PHONEHOME_SEND_USAGE_DATA=yes directs the installer to configure the compiler to send usage data back to the Intel Software Improvement Program. Setting this to YES is your consent to opt-into this program.

XCODE_INTEGRATION_NEEDED

• XCODE_INTEGRATION_NEEDED=yes directs the installer to integrate the compiler into XCODE located at the XCODE_DIR directory
• XCODE_INTEGRATION_NEEDED=no directs the installer to not integrate the compiler into XCODE. Use this option if you would like to use the compiler in command-line mode only.

XCODE_DIR

• This directive instructs the installer where to find Xcode application to integrate the compiler into it. The format is:
• XCODE_DIR=/Applications/XCode.app
