Run Silent-Mode to Install STA

Silent-mode uses a response file to provide input for the installation. This mode is useful for unattended installations and for installing STA on multiple machines.

Before running the installer, you must configure a response file.

See Create a Response File.
On the STA server, open a terminal window. Log in as the Oracle user.
Change to the STA installer location. For example:
```
$ cd /Installers
```

Start the STA silent-mode installer.

See Installer Command Options for full definitions of the command parameters.

$ ./sta_installer_linux64_<version>.bin –silent  –responseFile <absolute path to response file> –invPtrLoc <absolute path to Oracle central inventory pointer file>

For example:

$ ./sta_install_2.3.1_linux64.bin –silent –responseFile /Installers/silentInstall.rsp -invPtrLoc /Oracle/oraInventory/oraInst.loc

The installer displays status messages in the terminal window as it performs the following installation steps. This process may take 30 to 60 minutes to complete.
- Performs prerequisite checks on the STA server environment.
- Verifies that the response file is valid and includes entries for all required parameters.
- Installs the included software packages, including MySQL, WebLogic, and the STA application.
- Configures the STA environment using the settings you have supplied in the response file.
- Starts the STA application.
If successful, you should see:
```
Configuration:Post Configuration completed successfully
The installation of STA_Install 2.3.1 completed successfully.

If it fails, you may see:
```

Logs are located here: /tmp/OraInstall2016-09-24_09-29-29AM.
** Error during execution, error code = 256.
```
When the installer completes successfully, verify that STA is running.
