Hi,  
is there a way that I can use scripting to automate the installation process of Ignition in Linux? We use an automated software delivery system that currently prepares the server for me with the exception of installing Ignition and I think it would be very helpful to be able to deploy the Ignition software automatically as well. I can understand that the license still needs to be activated manually.

Kind regards,  
Bart.

Sorry, should have read the manual better as it is in there.
