Installing from the Command Line

Choose a command-line installation if you prefer a non-windowing 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.

  1. Insert the installation media into the drive.
    If the installation program launches automatically, click Cancel to stop the installer.
  2. From a command line, change to the setup directory.

    The setup directory is the directory that contains setupConsole.exe, installer.properties, and other installation files.

  3. Enter:
    setupConsole.exe -i console
  4. 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.
