Installing in Console Mode

Choose command line installation if you prefer a nonwindowing interface or for developing custom installation scripts.

Prerequisites
Launch the installer in console mode. 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.
  1. At the command prompt, enter:
    x:\setupConsole.exe -i console

    where x is the location of the installer.

  2. Follow the remaining prompts to complete the installation. Output is written to a terminal window, and you must use the keyboard to enter responses.
