Installing in Silent Mode

To perform a silent, or unattended installation, run the installer and provide a response file that contains your preferred installation configuration.

Prerequisites

Use setup.bin -r responseFileName to generate a installation response file during a console or GUI installation.

Task

Run the following, where responseFileName is the absolute path of the file name containing the installation options you chose:
```
setup.bin –f responseFileName -i silent
-DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true -DRUN_SILENT=true
```
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.
Except for the absence of the GUI screens, all actions of InstallAnywhere are the same, and the result of an installation in silent mode is exactly the same as one done in GUI mode with the same responses.
The installer for Adaptive Server 15.7 ESD #2 and later requires non-null passwords for the "sa" login in Adaptive Server, and uafadmin and sccadmin logins in Sybase Control Center. For this reason, add these rows to the response file:
```
SY_CFG_ASE_PASSWORD=<ASE sa password>
CONFIG_SCC_CSI_SCCADMIN_PWD=<SCC admin password>
CONFIG_SCC_CSI_UAFADMIN_PWD=<SCC agent admin password>
```
The passwords for sccadmin and uafadmin logins need not be the same as the password for the Adaptive Server "sa" login.
