If you want to run the installer without the graphical user interface (GUI), you can launch the installation program in console mode. In cases where the installation program launches automatically, click Cancel to cancel the GUI installation and then launch the setup program from a terminal or console.
The steps for installing components in console mode are the same as those described in “Installing DirectConnect for z/OS Option in GUI mode”, except that you execute the installation program from the command line using the setup -console command, and you enter text to select the installation options, as follows:
Enter the following at the command line:
For Windows platforms:
x:\setup -console
For UNIX and Linux platforms:
./setup -console
The setup command will be identified
as setup for the remaining UNIX entries in this
chapter.
The installation program starts and displays a Welcome message.
The flow of the installation is identical to a regular GUI installation, except that the display is written to a terminal window, and responses are entered using the keyboard. Respond to the remaining prompts to install DirectConnect for z/OS Option.
