Choosing an Installation Method

There are two ways to install the Sun Studio 12 Update 1 software:

Package installer, graphical user interface (GUI) mode	The graphical user interface installer is an installation wizard that displays pages for a series of installation steps. On each page, you can quit, go back to the previous step, or go on to the next step. You can choose the installation directory and which components of the Sun Studio 12 Update 1 software you want to install.
Package installer, non-GUI mode	The non-GUI mode of the package installer installs all components of the Sun Studio 12 Update 1 silently.
