Installing in Non-GUI Mode

A silent or unattended installation mode is identical to a GUI installation, except all output is written to a terminal window and responses are entered from the command line.

Prerequisites

Create a response file. See Creating a Response File.

Warning! Sybase recommends that you use setupConsole.exe, as it runs in the foreground during a silent installation. setup.exe runs in the background and may give the impression that the installation has terminated resulting in additional installation attempts using a silent installation. Multiple, simultaneous installations may corrupt the Windows Registry and lead to the operating system being unable to restart.

Task

Insert the CD. If the installer starts automatically, click Cancel.
Use a terminal or console to launch the setup program.
Change to the CD directory.
Execute setup and enter:
Windows:
```
setupConsole.exe -i console
```
UNIX:
```
./setup.bin -i console
```
The installation program starts.
To install in silent mode, run: For Windows:
```
setupConsole.exe –f response_file_name -i silent
-DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true
```
For UNIX:
```
setup.bin -f response_file_name  -i silent -DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true
```
The response_file_name is where you enter the absolute path of the file name containing the installation options you chose.
To agree to the Sybase License Agreement, either:
- Include the option -DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true in the command line argument.
- Edit the response file to include the property AGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true.
