Installing Replication Server in Console Mode

Choose command line installation if you prefer a nonwindowing interface or for developing custom installation scripts.

Prerequisites

Launch the installer in console mode. If the installer launches automatically, click Cancel to cancel the GUI installation, then launch the setup program from a terminal or console.

Task

The steps for installing components in an interactive text mode are the same as those described in installing in GUI mode, except you use setup -i console to execute the installer from the command line, and you enter text to select installation options.

  1. At the command prompt, enter:
    x:\setupConsole.exe -i console

    where x is the location of the installer.

  2. The flow of the installation is identical to a GUI installation, except output is written to a terminal window and responses are entered using the keyboard. Follow the remaining prompts to install Replication Server.
