Silent Installers

Silent mode, which enables an installer to run without any user interaction, is fully supported on all UNIX platforms. A near-Silent mode is possible on Windows, and Mac OS X. InstallAnywhere and end-user-defined variables may be set through command-line parameters or a properties file.

To trigger a silent installer from the command line, type the following command:

installername –i silent
