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 ``` ### Windows x86 Default mode is graphical. ```bash theme={null} # Basic graphical installation loqate_installer_mt_win_x86_vs2005.exe # With settings file loqate_installer_mt_win_x86_vs2005.exe --setup-file # Silent mode loqate_installer_mt_win_x86_vs2005.exe --mode silent # Silent mode with settings file loqate_installer_mt_win_x86_vs2005.exe --mode silent --setup-file ``` ### Windows x86\_64 Default mode is graphical. ```bash theme={null} # Basic graphical installation loqate_installer_mt_win_x64_vs2005.exe # With settings file loqate_installer_mt_win_x64_vs2005.exe --setup-file # Silent mode loqate_installer_mt_win_x64_vs2005.exe --mode silent # Silent mode with settings file loqate_installer_mt_win_x64_vs2005.exe --mode silent --setup-file ``` ### Linux x86 Default mode is console, standard mode is graphical. ```bash theme={null} # Basic console installation loqate_installer_mt_linux_x86 # With settings file loqate_installer_mt_linux_x86 --setup-file # Graphical mode loqate_installer_mt_linux_x86 --mode standard # Graphical mode with settings file loqate_installer_mt_linux_x86 --mode standard --setup-file # Silent mode loqate_installer_mt_linux_x86 --mode silent # Silent mode with settings file loqate_installer_mt_linux_x86 --mode silent --setup-file ``` ### Linux x86\_64 Default mode is console, standard mode is graphical. ```bash theme={null} # Basic console installation loqate_installer_mt_linux_x86_64 # With settings file loqate_installer_mt_linux_x86_64 --setup-file # Graphical mode loqate_installer_mt_linux_x86_64 --mode standard # Graphical mode with settings file loqate_installer_mt_linux_x86_64 --mode standard --setup-file # Silent mode loqate_installer_mt_linux_x86_64 --mode silent # Silent mode with settings file loqate_installer_mt_linux_x86_64 --mode silent --setup-file ``` ### AIX Default mode is console, standard mode is graphical. ```bash theme={null} # Basic console installation loqate_installer_ # With settings file loqate_installer_ --setup-file # Graphical mode loqate_installer_ --mode standard # Graphical mode with settings file loqate_installer_ --mode standard --setup-file # Silent mode loqate_installer_ --mode silent # Silent mode with settings file loqate_installer_ --mode silent --setup-file ```
