Command-Line Options for the Non-GUI Installer

--create-symlinks

Create symbolic links in the /usr/bin and /usr/share/man directories to the Sun Studio 12 Update 1 software and man pages. This option is valid only for the multi-language 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 visible only in that zone. 

-‐extract-installation-data directory

Extract installation data, do not perform installation. 

--help

Display information on the options. 

--install-all-locales

Install Sun Studio software for all locales. This option is valid only for the multi-language installer. 

--installation-location directory

Install Sun Studio software in the specified directory instead of in the default installation directory /opt. This option is valid only for the multi-language installer.

--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. 

--non-interactive-accept-license

Accept the license agreement and start the installer in non-GUI mode. 

--print-license

Print the license agreement.  

--silent-logs-dir directory

Write the installer log file to the specified directory. 

-‐state state_file .xml

Play back the state file recorded by the GUI installer to silently repeat an installation session. This option lets you install a subset of the product components in non-GUI mode. 

--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-alternative-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 and only for the multi-language installer.

--verbose

Write verbose output to the console.
