The gui-less installation provides a fast way to install or update the BRIDGE. You simply need to run the installer of the new BRIDGE version with the properties file you have defined upon installing the BRIDGE.

Start the update with the following command:

java -jar BridgeInstaller-<installer version>.jar -guiless -installproperties guilessinstaller.properties -debuglevel info

Never change the guilessinstaller.properties after first installation, but use the same file for every update afterwards!

Bridge 5.1.39.6 Bridge 6.0.40.2 Only exception is, when you are moving from a version below 6.0.40.2/5.1.39.6 to a higher version. Since then, the settings console.ip.address and console.hostname are mandatory. It is necessary that you edit your existing guilessinstaller.properties file before making an update installation. If you don't specify these settings, you will get additional node instances and proxy nodes and won't be able to deploy services anymore.

If you need to change BRIDGE configurations, you need to:

  1. Uninstall the BRIDGE as described on Uninstalling a BRIDGE, and keep the BRIDGE data directory.
  2. Install the BRIDGE applying the new configuration as described on Installing a BRIDGE (Installer).
