installer(1M) System Administration Commands installer(1M)NAMEinstaller - Solaris Web Start installer utility
SYNOPSISinstaller [-locales list] [-nodisplay] [-noconsole] [-debug]
DESCRIPTION
The installer utility invokes a Web Start install wizard sequence which
will lead the user through a sequence of installation panels. This in‐
staller utility is found on many CDs that are shipped with Solaris and
it will be found among the top level files of these CDs.
When the installer is on a CD being accessed from a desktop file man‐
ager, the installer can be double clicked to start the installation
sequence. If the user is not currently the system's root user, the root
user password will be requested.
The installer utility can also be run from other UNIX scripts.
Usually, a script is used in conjunction with the utility's -nodisplay
option. Add the -noconsole option for non-interactive scripts.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-locales list Selects product translations for install, corresponding
to the specified list of locales if the specified
locale translations are present on the installation
media. Locales are supplied in a comma-separated list
following the -locales option. An example list would
appear as follows:
installer-locales fr,de,it
This would install products with translations for the
French, German, and Italian locales.
-nodisplay Runs the install without a graphical user interface.
Use the default product install unless it was modified
by the -locales options.
-noconsole Run the install without any interactive text console
device. Useful when paired with -nodisplay for non-
interactive UNIX script use.
-debug Outputs extra information about what the install is
doing. Mainly for install diagnostic purposes.
