Installing silently

Use IBM Installation Manager to run a silent install of a DevOps product. When you run a silent install, the Installation Manager interface is not available. Installation Manager uses a response file that contains commands required to install the product package.

When you complete the silent install, you can use an existing response file or record a new one using Installation Manager. See the technotes to download sample response files for and Rational® ClearQuest® products. For more information and instructions for recording a response file, see Working in silent mode in the Installation Manager documentation.
