Console Installation

NOTE: Console installation only applies to Linux systems that are not running a graphical environment.
The autorun script in the root of the resource media detects when there is no graphical environment running and
automatically starts the installer in a text‑based mode. This mode provides the same options as graphical installation.

Silent Installation

Modify the custom_silent.properties file to reflect the features, models and installation options to be used. Then,
save the file.
