Installing in Silent Mode

Silent installation requires no user interaction, and all installation configuration is taken from the response file. This is useful when you want multiple identical installations, or to fully automate installation.

Prerequisites
Create an installation response file.
Task
Navigate to the installation directory and enter:
  • On Windows
    setupConsole.exe -f responseFileName -i silent
-DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true
  • On UNIX
    ./setup.bin -f responseFileName -i silent 
-DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true
where:
  • responseFileName – is the absolute path of the file name containing the installation options you chose.
  • -D – to pass value for an installation parameter to the installer.
All actions of the installer are the same, and the result of an installation in silent mode is exactly the same as one performed in GUI mode with the same responses.
Note: You must agree to the Sybase License Agreement when installing in silent mode. You can either:
  • Include the option -DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true in the command line argument, or,
  • Edit the response file to include the property AGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true.
