Performing a Silent Installation
To perform a silent installation:
1. From a command-line prompt, navigate to the directory that contains the installer's binary file.
2. Execute a silent installation:
installer_filename -f  configuration_file
where
installer_filename
is the full name of the installer's binary file you untarred in Step 4 of "Installing from Downloaded Files."
configuration_file
is the location and name of the configuration file that you have created.
If the configuration file is named silent.cfg and resides in the current working directory, you would enter the following for a 64-bit Linux installation of the 8.0 version of the product:
PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_ODBC_8.0_LINUX_64_INSTALL.bin -f silent.cfg -i silent
You may also specify an absolute or relative path, for example:
PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_ODBC_8.0_LINUX_64_INSTALL.bin -f /home/users/johndoe/silent.cfg -i silent
or
PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_ODBC_8.0_LINUX_64_INSTALL.bin -f ./install/silent.cfg
3. The installation proceeds without any further user intervention unless you enter an incorrect value on the command line or in the configuration file, in which case an error is displayed and the installer aborts. To complete the installation, you must correct the command line or silent installation configuration file and execute it again.
