Install Reality Studio silently using command line parameters

Windows
Linux

The installation of Reality Studio requires the Reality Studio installer (.msi) and a valid authorization file (.pvrc).

You can use the following command to perform a typical installation of Reality Studio. Replace <setup staging location> with the directory where the Reality Studio installer is located.

msiexec.exe /i <setup_staging_location>\ArcGISRealityStudio.msi> ALLUSERS=1 INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\RealityStudio" ACCEPTEULA=YES AUTHORIZATION_TYPE=SINGLE_USE /qb

Command line parameters

The following command line parameters can be used when running the installation of Reality Studio. They can be appended to the following base command:

msiexec.exe /i <setup_staging_location>\ArcGISRealityStudio.msi>

Command	Description
ACCEPTEULA	Using this parameter, you can accept the End User License Agreement (EULA). To perform the installation, you must use `ACCEPTEULA=YES`.
ALLUSERS	This parameter defines whether Reality Studio will be installed for all users on the machine (`ALLUSERS=1`) or for the current user only (`ALLUSERS=2`). The default is current user only.
AUTHORIZATION_TYPE	You can use this parameter to specify the authorization type. Reality Studio can only be used with a single-use license and requires setting `AUTHORIZATION_TYPE=SINGLE_USE`.
ENABLE_ERROR_REPORTS	Specify to send error reports to Esri. This setting is enabled by default. To not send error reports, set `ENABLE_ERROR_REPORTS=0`.
ENABLEEUEI	By setting this parameter, you can choose to contribute to the Esri User Experience Improvement program. This is enabled by default. To opt out, set `ENABLEEUEI=0`.
INSTALLDIR	Specify where to install Reality Studio. The default directory for machine-wide installation is `%System Drive%\Program Files\ArcGIS\RealityStudio`. For per-user installation, it is `%System Drive%\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\ArcGIS\RealityStudio`.

The instructions below describe how to install ArcGIS Reality Studio silently from the command line.

Browse to the directory where the ArcGIS Reality Studio .tar file was uncompressed.
Before beginning the installation, read the license agreement located at <installation directory>/CD_Linux/Documentation/EULA.pdf and accept the terms.

Run the setup silently using the setup options. See the following sample syntax:

<installer directory>/CD_Linux/Setup -m silent -l yes

Setup options:

Option	Description
-m; --mode MODE	Optional. The default is GUI. MODE is one of silent, console, or GUI.
-l; --license-agreement CHOICE	Required for silent mode. CHOICE is either Yes or No. Yes indicates that you have read and agreed to the Esri Master Agreement (E204, E300). Visit https://www.esri.com/legal/licensing-translations to read the agreement.
-d; --directory DIRECTORY	Optional. By default, ArcGIS Reality Studio is installed `/home/<user>/arcgis/realitystudio/`. DIRECTORY specifies a different installation directory. The name of the installation directory must be lowercase. The samples and data bundled with the installation require the data path to be lowercase.
-v; --verbose	Installer runs in verbose mode.
-h; --help	Displays command line help.
-e; --examples	Displays usage examples of these options.

Once the installation finishes, an installation status message appears.

Authorize ArcGIS Reality Studio silently

Once Reality Studio has been installed, it can be authorized silently following these steps:

Windows
Linux

Browse to the installation directory. The default destination folder is <System Drive>\Program Files\ArcGIS\RealityStudio\bin\
In the command line, run the following command: SoftwareAuthorizationPro.exe /LIF "<location_of_prvc>" /s

Replace <location_of_prvc> with the path to the Single Use license file (.pvrc).

Sample syntax: "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\RealityStudio\bin\SoftwareAuthorizationPro.exe" /LIF "<location_of_prvc>" /s

Browse to the bin folder of the installation directory and open a terminal window in this location. The default directory is: /home/<user>/arcgis/realitystudio/.
Run ArcGISRealityStudioNode with the flag --authorize-software cli (shortcut -a), followed by the second flag --software-authorization-file (shortcut -s) and your authorization file (*.prvc) as an argument.

Sample syntax: <installation directory>/bin/ArcGISRealityStudioNode --authorize-software cli --software-authorization-file <location_of_prvc>.prvc

Once the authorization finishes, a message on the terminal indicates that the software has been authorized and is ready for use.

Optional further installations

See the following for more installation options.

ArcGIS licensing service

The ArcGIS licensing service (SoftwareAuthorizationPro.exe) is only installed with Reality Studio for per-machine installations. For per-user installations, you can use the following command to install it:

msiexec.exe /i <ArcGIS_Reality_Studio_installation_directory>\Resources\ArcGIS Licensing Service\ArcGISLS.msi /qb

Coordinate System Data

The installation of coordinate system data requires the Coordinate System Data installation file. You can download it from My Esri and extract it to the machine where Reality Studio is installed.

You can run the installation with the following command:

msiexec.exe /i "<Coordinates_System_Data_Directory>\SetupFiles\CSD.msi" ACCEPTEULA=1 /qb

Raster Data

To install raster data, the Raster Data installation file is needed. You can download it from My Esri and extract it to the machine where Reality Studio is installed.

The installation can be performed with the following command:

msiexec.exe /i "<Raster_Data_Directory>\SetupFiles\RasterData.msi" ACCEPTEULA=1 /qb

Browse to the installation directory. The default destination folder is <System Drive>\Program Files\ArcGIS\RealityStudio\bin\
To deauthorize Reality Studio, run the following command: SoftwareAuthorizationPro.exe -s -return all

Reality Studio is now deauthorized.

Warning:

Exceeding the number of allowed deauthorizations for your license may block future authorizations. If this occurs, contact Esri Technical Support.

Uninstall the ArcGIS products silently

To uninstall a product, use the following command:

Windows
Linux

Run msiexec.exe /x {<product code>} /qb in the command line.
Replace <product code> with the correct product code. The product code can be found in the Windows Registry Editor at the following path:
- For per-machine installation, use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Esri.
- For per-user installation, use HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Esri.

Reality Studio is now uninstalled.
