If you invoke the installer from a command prompt using the runtime
command line option -silent, you can perform an unattended, or silent,
installation.
Why and when to perform this task
Running the installer in silent mode requires no interaction with
the wizard. You can invoke a silent install using all the default setup options,
or provide a response file for a non-standard installation.
To use any
of these options, type the appropriate command from the following list.
Alternatives for this task
- To run a silent install using all the default setup options, type
one of the following commands:
On Linux,
type:setuplinuxia32 -silent -G licenseAccepted=true
On Solaris,
type:setupsolaris -silent -G licenseAccepted=true
On Windows,
type:setup.exe -silent -G licenseAccepted=true
In this way, you explicitly accept the license agreement and the install
can proceed using the default options.
- To record a response file, type one of the following commands:
On Linux,
type:setuplinuxia32 -options-record responsefilename.txt
On Solaris,
type:setupsolaris -options-record responsefilename.txt
On Windows,
type:setup.exe -options-record responsefilename.txt
- To invoke a silent install using a response file, type one of the
following commands:
On Linux,
type:setuplinuxia32 -silent [-options responsefilename.txt]
On Solaris,
type:setupsolaris -silent [-options responsefilename.txt]
On Windows,
type:setup.exe -silent [-options responsefilename.txt]
- You can use the -silent option for uninstalling by adding
it as a argument to the uninstaller command. For example:
On Windows,
type:uninstaller.exe -silent
- You can use the -console option in conjunction with any
of these commands to perform a console-based, text-based installation or uninstallation.
