Silent installation on Windows

Silent installation is performed without any user interface. It can be used by network administrators to install DataGrip on a number of machines and avoid interrupting other users.

To perform silent install, run the installer with the following switches:

  • /S: Enable silent install

  • /CONFIG: Specify the path to the silent configuration file

  • /D: Specify the path to the installation directory

    This parameter must be the last in the command line, and it should not contain any quotes even if the path contains blank spaces.

For example:

datagrip.exe /S /CONFIG=d:\temp\silent.config /D=d:\IDE\DataGrip

To check for issues during the installation process, add the /LOG switch with the log file path and name between the /S and /D parameters. The installer will generate the specified log file. For example:

datagrip.exe /S /CONFIG=d:\temp\silent.config /LOG=d:\JetBrains\DataGrip\install.log /D=d:\IDE\DataGrip

Silent configuration file

You can download the default silent configuration file for DataGrip at https://download.jetbrains.com/datagrip/silent.config

The silent configuration file defines the options for installing DataGrip. With the default options, silent installation is performed only for the current user: mode=user. If you want to install DataGrip for all users, change the value of the installation mode option to mode=admin and run the installer as an administrator.

The default silent configuration file is unique for each JetBrains product. You can modify it to enable or disable various installation options as necessary.

Install as a snap package on Linux

You can install DataGrip as a self-contained snap package. Since snaps update automatically, your DataGrip installation will always be up-to-date.

DataGrip is distributed via two channels:

  • The stable channel includes only stable versions. To install the latest stable release of DataGrip, run the following command:

    sudo snap install datagrip --classic

    The --classic option is required because the DataGrip snap requires full access to the system, like a traditionally packaged application.

  • The edge channel includes EAP builds. To install the latest EAP build of DataGrip, run the following command:

    sudo snap install datagrip --classic --edge

When the snap is installed, you can launch it by running the datagrip command.

To list all installed snaps, you can run sudo snap list. For information about other snap commands, see the Snapcraft documentation.
