Installing Server in Silent Mode

After running the installer in GUI mode and recording the responses into a response file, edit the file to customize the responses. Then use that response file to answer the installer when you run the installer in silent mode.

Prerequisites

Use

setup.bin -r responseFileName

to generate a installation response file during a console or GUI installation.

Task

To install in silent mode, run:

setup.bin –f responseFileName -i silent
-DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true -DRUN_SILENT=true

where responseFileName is the absolute path of the file name containing the installation options you chose.

Note: You must agree to the Sybase License Agreement when installing in silent mode. You can either:

• Include the option
```
-DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true -DRUN_SILENT=true
```
in the command line argument.
• Edit the response file to include the property
```
AGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true
RUN_SILENT=true
```

Except for the absence of the GUI screens, all actions of InstallAnywhere are the same, and the result of an installation in silent mode is exactly the same as one done in GUI mode with the same responses.
