Installing from the Command Line

Choose command line installation if you prefer a non-windowing interface or for developing custom installation scripts.

Prerequisites

If the installer launches automatically, click Cancel to cancel the GUI installation, then launch the setup program from a terminal or console.

Task

The steps for installing components in an interactive text mode are the same as those for GUI mode, except you use setup -i console to execute the installer from the command line, and you specify options by entering text.

Note: On Windows, use setupConsole.exe when installing in console or silent mode.

Launch the installer in console mode from the command prompt:
- On Windows
```
x:\da_installer\setupConsole.exe -i console
```
  where x is the location of the installer
- On UNIX
```
./da_installer/setup.bin -i console
```
Follow the remaining prompts. Output is written to a terminal window, and you must use the keyboard to enter responses.
