Silent Installation of Packages
You can install a package on a desktop in unattended mode, bypassing the installation user interface. The choices normally selected during an attended installation are included in a response .properties file, which you create. To activate the unattended mode, run the installer file from the command line with the following arguments:
--unattended <full path to your response file>
For example:
eclipse-4.4.2-installer-linux.run --unattended /home/root/unattended.properties
Below is a sample of an unattended installer response file.
delivery.install.folder=/Applications/E36Java delivery.install.architecture=x86
If you fail to include a property or configure a property improperly, the installer indicates what the offending property is and the value it is expecting.
| Property | Data type | Required | Description |
| delivery.install.folder | String | Yes | a path to the location where the package should be installed |
| delivery.install.architecture | “x86” or “x86_64” | Yes | 32-bit or 64-bit architecture |
| delivery.install.ws | “cocoa” | Yes if installing to the Mac platform | Mac operating system |
