05 Installation Package installation

Additional parameters

For the not-so-inpatient user, the self-extractable archive supports few command line parameters, described in the following table.

Parameter	Description
--help	Prints the short help messages.
--info	This will print archive information, such as the title, the default target
	directory, the embedded script to be run after unpacking, the
	compression method used, the uncompressed size, the date of
	packaging.
--list	This option will print the content of the embedded archive. The listed
	files are the engines, the program binaries, the embedded
	documentation, the install and uninstall script along with their size and
	permissions.
--check	This is one of the most useful options, because it enables the user to
	verify the package integrity, as stated above. The integrity is checked
	comparing the embedded md5 checksum (generated during packaging)
	with the one computed the moment of checking. If they match, the
	output will be the following:
	MD5 checksums are OK. All good.
	If not, an error message will be shown, displaying the unequal stored
	and computed checksums, such as
	Error in MD5 checksums: X is different from Y
--confirm	The user will be asked to confirm every step of the install process.
--keep	By default, the archive content is extracted to a temporary directory,
	which will be removed after the embedded installer exits. Passing this
	parameter to the script will not remove the directory.

-- t a r g e t directory

You can specify another directory to extract the archive to, if you don't want to use the default name. Note that this target directory will not be removed.
