Creating a Response File

To perform a silent, or "unattended" installation, run InstallAnywhere and provide a response file that contains your preferred installation configuration. Learn how to create a response file here.

The response file is a text file that you create during a GUI mode install. You can edit it if necessary and then use for subsequent silent installs.

  1. To generate the response file during GUI installation, run:
    setup.bin -i console -r response_file_name
    Record the installation to a response file where response_file_name is the absolute path of the file name you choose for the response file, for example: /tmp/response_file_name.txt.
    Note: The directory you specify must already exist.
  2. Specify the -r command line argument. The -r argument records your responses to the installation prompts and creates a response file when the installation wizard exits.
  3. After running the installer in GUI mode and recording the responses into a response file, edit the file to customize the responses.
