Installing from the Command Line

Choose a command-line installation if you prefer a non-GUI interface or for developing custom installation scripts. Installing components in console mode is similar to installing in GUI mode, except that you run the installer from the command line, and enter text to select the installation options.

Prerequisites

If you are installing the LinuxAMD64 image on a Red Hat, you must remount the drive to set the appropriate permissions for the installer to run properly.

Task

Insert the installation media into the drive.
If the installation program launches automatically, click Cancel to stop the installer.
To install the LinuxAMD64 image on Red Hat, enter one of these commands to remount the drive:
- mount -t iso9660 /dev/hda /mnt/cdrom
- mount -o exec /dev/cdrom /media
From a console, change to the setup directory.

The setup directory is the directory that contains setup.bin, installer.properties, and other installation files.
Enter:
```
setup.bin -i console
```
Follow the instructions on the screen.

Note: Selecting or deselecting a product feature typically installed with SAP Sybase IQ also selects or deselects all child components associated with that feature. To select individual components, omit the number of the main product feature, and choose the child components you want to install.
