How to install dbForge DevOps Automation components
Install dbForge SQL Tools
When dbForge DevOps Automation is installed on your computer, it includes executables, associated libraries, and configuration files necessary to provide its functionality.
By default, it is installed in the C:\Program Files\Devart\dbForge SQL Tools directory on your Windows system. However, during the installation process, you have the option to change the destination directory by selecting a different folder where you want to install the application.
Most Devart tools for SQL Server are available as part of the SQL Tools. You can chose which individual products to install when you run the installer.
To install SQL Tools:
-
Download the SQL Tools installer from the Devart website.
-
Run the installer, select the tools you want to install, and follow the instructions. Be aware that it may take a few minutes for all new options to appear in the SSMS/Visual Studio interface.
Note
Along with dbForge DevOps Automation PowerShell for SQL Server, you need to install at least dbForge Schema Compare for SQL Server. For a complete list of the tools you need for the full-functional work of DevOps Automation, refer to the Requirements and Compatibility topic.
Install dbForge SQL Tools via PowerShell
To install the tools via PowerShell, use the following command:
Start-Process -FilePath $installerPath -ArgumentList $arguments -Wait
-
$installerPath is a variable containing the path to the installer file
-
$arguments is a variable containing command line arguments for installing in silent mode
-
Start-Process is the PowerShell command to start a process that includes the installer path and command line arguments
-
Wait is the command to wait for the installation to complete
Optionally, you can include the /verysilent parameter to perform the installation without displaying any messages and without any user’s intervention.
For example, the PowerShell command could look like this:
Start-Process -FilePath "D:\sqltoolspro.exe" -ArgumentList "/verysilent" -Wait
