Silent Installation

To use the silent installation method, add the -q option, the response file, and the destination directory to the command to run the installer. For example, in Linux, run the following command:

./platform-setup-64bit-linux.sh -q -varfile ~/response.varfile

It is recommended that, if possible, you provide an absolute path as the installation path specified as the dir argument value and not a relative path as shown in the example.

For a Windows system:

platform-setup-64bit-windows.exe -q -varfile c:/response.varfile
