You can install
WebSphere Application Server Liberty using the Installation Manager
Graphical User Interface (GUI) or Installation Manager in console
mode. Console mode is an interactive text-based user interface to
Installation Manager. Use console mode when you do not have a graphics
display device available or when you want to run the Installation
Manager without the graphical user interface. For example, use console
mode for server-side deployments when no graphical user interface
is present, or for running the installation from a remote host.
