Installation roadmap
The installation roadmap lists the high-level steps for installing the product.
Silent installation road maps
The typical silent installation path is to use the Installation Manager installer to install Installation Manager, and then to use Installation Manager to record a response file, then to silently install software packages. Optionally, you can use the Installation Manager installer to install Installation Manager and software packages at the same time. When you install in silent mode, the user interface is not available; instead, a response file inputs the commands that are required to install the software packages.
