Silent installation of the software: Automatic distribution in the corporate environment
A silent installation allows software to be installed in the background without requiring user interactions. This is especially useful for companies that want to roll out software on many computers.
Installation Parameters for Windows
Silent installation on Windows is performed by using specific parameters when calling the installer:
• /S → Starts the installation in silent mode.
• /D=“Path” → Specifies the installation directory.
• /allusers → Installs the software for all users (administrator rights required).
• /currentuser → Installs the software only for the currently logged-in user (default behavior).
Installation Parameters for macOS
On macOS, silent installation is performed using the package manager and terminal commands. The following command installs the software automatically:
sudo installer -package /path/to/installer.pkg -target /
It is important to note that administrator rights are required to successfully complete the installation.
