This section describes how to install the product from a console, rather than from a GUI. It contains these sections:
Before you begin the installation process, ensure you have downloaded the appropriate version of the product for your operating system (see Table 1-5).
On your local drive, locate the installer for the version of the product you want to install.

If you install the product on Linux or Solaris, see Section 1.5.1, "Ensure the Installer is Executable" for important information.

Change to the directory from which you want to install the product.
At the command line, type:
product_installer -mode=console
The system responds:
Extracting 0%....................................100%
Once the extraction process is complete, the system will prompt you through the installation, replicating the procedures described in Chapter 2, "Graphical Mode Installation".
Note:
If you don't specify -mode=console at the command line, the installer will revert to graphical mode, as described in Chapter 2, "Graphical Mode Installation"
