Sun Studio 12 Update 1 Installation Guide

Command-Line Options for the GUI Installer

The following command-line options are valid when you are starting the GUI installer.

--current-zone-only

Install only in the current zone. When you run the installer in the global zone, this option makes the installed product available only in that zone. 

--help

Display information on the options. 

--javahome directory

Use the JDK in directory when running the installer. This option is needed when the installer cannot locate a JDK in a standard location on your system, and you need to point it to one. 

--locale locale

Override the default locale for the installer with the specified locale. Valid locales are en (English), ja (Japanese), and zh (Simplified Chinese). This option is valid only for the multi-language installer.

--output output_file

Write all installer output to the specified file. 

--record state_file.xml

Record an installer session in the GUI installer so that you can use repeat the installation on another system with the non-GUI installer. This option is especially useful when you want to install a subset of the product components on multiple systems. 

--tempdir

By default, the installer extracts temporary data into the /tmp directory. If there is not sufficient space in the /tmp directory on your system, you can specify another directory for the installer to use.

--use-alternate-root directory

Install in the specified root directory instead of the default root directory /. Specify the full path of the directory to use as the alternate root. This option is valid only on systems running the Solaris OS.

--verbose

Write verbose output to the console.
