Installing in console mode

To run the installer without the graphical user interface (GUI), launch it 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.

StepsInstalling in console mode

The steps for installing components in console mode are the same as those described in “Installing in GUI mode”, except that you run the installation program from the command line using the command, and you enter text to select the installation options:

  1. At the command line, enter:

    setupConsole.exe -i console
    

    The installation program starts.

  2. The flow of the installation is identical to a GUI installation, except that the display is written to a terminal window and responses are entered using the keyboard. Follow the remaining prompts to install either Software Developer’s Kit or Open Server software.

For a complete list of command line options, see Table 2-1.

NoteStarting with version 15.7 ESD#3, you can choose to skip installation of sample files, documentation files, and debug files. By default, these files are installed when you install Open Server and SDK. To skip installation of these files, use the -DPRODUCTION_INSTALL=TRUE installer command-line argument when installing in console mode.
