4.4.1 Types of Installations
(Ask a Question)- Graphical user interface (GUI) installation
- Console installation
- Silent installation
Some installations are permitted on certain operating systems only, as indicated in the following sections.
GUI Installations (Windows and Linux Operating Systems)
A GUI installation allows you to control the installation from start to finish. Unlike a silent installation, which bypasses all levels of user interaction, a GUI installation prompts you to select options during the installation process. A GUI installation is suited for users who want greater control over their Libero installation. Libero GUI installations are available for Windows and Linux operating systems.
Console Installations (Linux Operating System Only)
A console installation is available for Linux users who want to run the installation command from a Linux console. See section 4.4.3.3 Performing a Console Installation (Linux Operating Systems Only).
Silent Installations (Windows and Linux Operating Systems)
A silent (or unattended) installation obviates the need to monitor the Libero installation because no graphical output is displayed and no input from you is required. A silent installation uses either default values or a response file that contains the values for various installer variables that are used to control the installation. Once the silent installation starts, you are not offered any options to change or edit the installation process. A silent installation is suited for scenarios where monitoring and manual input are not required during installation. See section 4.4.3.4 Performing a Silent Installation.
