Installation Modes

The Windows and Linux installers can be run in graphical, console, or silent mode. The settings file is optional in these modes. The settings file is specified by the --setup-file option. If no settings file is specified, the installer will look for a file named setup.ini in the same folder as the installer. If no such file exists, the installer will run with no settings file.

Silent Mode Defaults

Running in silent mode with no settings file will use these default options:
InstallDir=C:\Program Files\Loqate (Windows)
InstallDir=/opt/loqate (Linux/Unix)
Modules=all
Samples=all
SampleData=yes
