Installation on consoles (non-GUI mode)

In cases where there is no graphics display device available, or for some other reason you wish to run the installer without the graphical user interface (GUI), the Installer can be launched in console or non-GUI mode. When invoking the installer setup program add the –consolecommand line argument. In cases where the Installer launches automatically, select Cancel to cancel the GUI install and then launch the setup program from a terminal or console. Then:

1Change the default directory to the CD.

2Run the setup program with the -consolecommand line argument:

.\setupConsole -console

The flow of the installation is identical to a regular GUI installation, except that the display is written to a terminal window and responses are entered using the keyboard.
