All files are contained in an enclosing folder named jprofiler. Unpack the distribution file with

gunzip filename
tar xf filename

Start JProfiler by executing the shell script

jprofiler/bin/jprofiler

Unix users are recommended to use GNU tar.

To perform an unattended installation, execute the installer with the -q command line argument. To set licensing information in that case, pass -Vjprofiler.licenseKey=[license key] -Vjprofiler.licenseName=[user name] and optionally -Vjprofiler.licenseCompany=[company name] as command line arguments. If you have an on-premises floating license, use FLOAT:[server name or IP address] instead of the license key. A console installer mode is also available if you pass the -c command line argument.

You may install a new version of JProfiler on top of an older version. Your configuration will not be lost. JProfiler automatically imports settings from previous major versions. You can install different major versions of JProfiler side by side.
