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:
- Open a command line prompt and change directories to the eclipse
folder that resides inside the Installation Manager Program Files.
- 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.
