setup command

Parameters

Entering the setup command without parameters causes the installation program to start in graphical mode.

-help

Displays this usage information and then exits.

-uiMode mode

Specifies the mode to run in. Valid values for mode can be graphical (default) or silent.

-rsp rspfile

Specifies the response file to use for this installation. For a silent mode installation, you must specify a response file by using this parameter. For a graphical mode installation, the settings in the response file that you specify display in the wizard and you do not have to enter them again.

If you specify the -rsp parameter, the installation program runs in silent mode by default. To run in graphical mode with a response file, you must also specify the -uiMode graphical parameter.

-reportOnly

For a silent mode installation only. Runs the prerequisites check but does not run the installation.

Use with the -reportFile parameter to store the results of the prerequisites check in a text file.

If this parameter is specified for a software removal, the parameter is ignored.

-force

Use this parameter to cause the installation program to continue even if the prerequisites checks fail.

In graphical mode, if -force is specified on the command line and a prerequisites check fails, an Ignore FAILED items and continue check box is shown in the window. To continue the installation, click this check box and then click Next. If -force is not specified, the check box is not shown and the Next button is disabled.

In silent mode, if -force is specified on the command line and a prerequisites check fails, the installation process continues. If -force is not specified, the installation process halts if prerequisites check tests fail.

Important: FAILED and WARNING messages during the prerequisites check indicate items that might cause a failed installation or that might cause malfunctions in the installed software. Use the -force option only if directed by IBM Support.

-reportFile rptfile

For a silent mode installation only. Specifies a text file for the prerequisites check report.

If a reportFile value is not specified, the report is displayed to the console.

-secure

For a graphical mode installation only. You are prompted to create a password when the installation program starts, unless you use the -passwordFile option to provide the password.

You use this option with the -secure option to skip the password prompt.
