Available Installer Modes

The Communications Suite installer is an installation framework that uses the Solaris pkgadd or Linux rpm utility to transfer Communications Suite software to your system. You can install Communications Suite interactively or by means of a reusable script.

• Graphical Mode (Interactive). Provides an interactive graphical wizard that leads you through the tasks of installing the software on a graphical workstation.

• Text-based Mode (Interactive). Provides the same functionality as that of graphical mode, but you are prompted for responses on a line-by-line basis in a terminal window.

• Silent Mode. Provides the ability to run the installer on multiple hosts, using a generated state file to specify input.

You can run the installer without installing software. This is useful for surveying Communications Suite software on your existing hosts.
