# Installing in Console Mode

When installing in console mode, you can run the installation on the command line.

Both root user and non-root user can perform the installation of TIBCO MFT Platform Server for UNIX . Transfers initiated by the local server work the same for root and non-root installations. However, transfers initiated by a remote server work differently for root and non-root installations.

See the following table for the differences between root installations and non-root installations:

Note: This table only applies to responder requests. Root and non-root installations have no effect on transfers initiated by TIBCO MFT Platform Server for UNIX .

Root Installation | Non-Root Installation
--- | ---
Supported authentication methods: Authentication using the password and shadow password file PAM authentication Responder profiles authentication Note: For more information on configuring PAM authentication, see the PAM authentication in the TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for UNIX User's Guide. | Supported authentication methods: Responder profiles authentication
Transfers are executed under the transfer user's credentials. When a responder profile is validated, a set UID is executed to set the transfer process to the UID associated with the responder profile. When a user's credentials are validated, a set UID is executed to set the transfer process to the transfer user's credentials. | Transfers are executed under the credentials of the user who starts CyberResp daemon. When a responder profile is validated, a set UID is not executed to set the transfer process to the UID associated with the responder profile.
File authorization checking is performed under the transfer user's UID. | File authorization checking is performed under the UID of the user who start CyberResp daemon.
