Silent Installers

InstallAnywhere 2018

Silent mode, which enables an installer to run without any user interaction, is fully supported on all UNIX platforms. A near-silent mode is possible on Windows and macOS or OS X. InstallAnywhere and end user–defined variables may be set through command-line parameters or a properties file.

To trigger a silent installer from the command line, type the following command:

installername -i silent

You may also call a properties file from the command line:

installername -f properties file

You may use the direct or the relative path to the properties file.

Note • InstallAnywhere variables may be incorporated in these values, and they will be resolved at install time.

You can also use response files and silent installers.
