Running Installation Manager in silent installation mode

You can run Installation Manager in silent installation mode from a command line.
Use the following table to see what each argument in the silent installation command does:
Argument Description
-silent 

Directs Installation Manager to run in silent mode (without the Installation Manager user interface).

-input
Specifies a response file as the input to Installation Manager. A response file contains commands that Installation Manager runs.
-log
Specifies a log file that records the result of the silent installation.
To run Installation Manager in silent installation mode:
  1. Open a command line prompt and change directories to the eclipse folder that resides inside the Installation Manager Program Files.
  2. Enter and run the following command, substituting your own locations for the response file and, optionally, the log file:
    launcher.bat –silent –input c:/temp/responsefile.xml –log c:/temp/mylog.log

    On Linux, use the following command, substituting your own location for the response and log file:

    launcher.sh  -nosplash -silent –input <ResponseFile> -log <LogFile>
Installation Manager runs in silent installation mode; it reads the response file located in C:/temp and writes a log file to the same directory. While you must have a response file when running in silent installation mode, log files are optional. The result of this execution should be a status of 0 on success and non-zero number on failure.
