Installing in console mode

If you want to run the installer without the graphical user interface (GUI), you can launch InstallShield in console mode. In cases where InstallShield launches automatically, click Cancel to cancel the GUI install and then launch the setup program from a terminal or console.

The steps for installing components in console mode are the same as those described in “Installing SDK or Open Server”, except that you execute InstallShield from the command line using the setup -console command, and you enter text to select the installation options, as follows:

At the command line, enter the following:

./setup -console

InstallShield starts and displays the following welcome message:

-------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the InstallShield Wizard for Sybase
Software Developer’s Kit or Open Server (depending
on which product you are installing), Version 12.5.1

The InstallShield Wizard will install either
Software Developere’s Kit or Open Server Software,
Version 12.5.1 on your computer.

To continue, choose Next.

Press 1 for Next, 3 to Cancel or 4 to Redisplay [1]
-------------------------------------------------

The flow of the installation is identical to a regular GUI installation, except that the display is written to a terminal and responses are entered using the keyboard. Follow the remaining prompts to install either SDK or Open Server software.
