The install command installs the product and most of the components in the product. When you install the product, the installer program installs the core product files and creates one or no profiles, depending on your installation selections. A silent parameter runs the installation wizard in silent mode without displaying the graphical user interface.
This topic describes the command-line syntax for the install command. Start the install command module from the command line to install the product.
Before you begin installing the product
Prepare the operating system for installation. Follow the procedure in Preparing the operating system for WebSphere ESB installation to get started.
The command file resides in the root directory of the component on the product disk or CIP.
If the command or an alternative command is not applicable for a component on a particular operating system, the N/A abbreviation is displayed in Table 1. A command is not applicable if the component cannot be installed on the operating system.
