Silent Installer for Linux Platforms

The silent installer for Linux platforms accepts command line parameters as configuration options for the specific deployment replacing interactive communication with the user using the options provided in the command line.

With all options required to complete the installation specified in the command line the installer completes automatically without operator attention.

The options also include destination location and the file to store generated credentials.

Command line parameters could be used to supplement interactive installation or to facilitate automated deployment.

The silent installer option is useful for deployment automation and repeat-ability in large environments, elastic provisioning of new systems in cloud or closed data-center environments and cleaner separation of system ownership, administration and deployment roles by limiting exposure of sensitive system keys and passwords.
