Installation Modes

Three installation modes are available: GUI, console, and silent.

GUI Mode

In the GUI mode, the installer presents panels that allow you to make choices about product selection, product location, and so on. To invoke the installer in GUI mode, double-click the executable.

Console Mode

Console mode allows you to run the installer from the command prompt or terminal window. This is useful if your machine does not have a GUI environment.

Silent Mode

Silent mode installs the product using either default or custom settings that are saved in a response file. This allows you to install the product without being prompted for information.
