Installation Overview
This section gives an overview of the installer.
Installation Modes
Three installation modes are available: GUI, console, and silent.
GUI Mode
In GUI mode, the installer presents panels that allow you to make choices concerning product selection, product location, and so on. To invoke the installer in the GUI mode, double-click the executable.
Console Mode
The 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.
