Installing silently

You can install a product package silently by using either Installation Manager in silent installation mode or by using IBM® Installation Manager installer. When you run Installation Manager in silent mode, the user interface is not available; instead, a response file inputs the commands that are required to install the product package.

About this task

There are two ways to install packages silently:
  • Use Installation Manager installer to install the IBM Installation Manager silently, and to install packages.
  • Install the IBM Installation Manager, then use it in silent mode to install packages.

The Installation Manager help contains the most up-to-date information about using Installation Manager to silently install the product. For the product documentation for the latest version of IBM Installation Manager, see http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSDV2W/welcome.
