NAME

     installer - Solaris Web Start installer utility

SYNOPSIS

     installer [-locales list] [-nodisplay] [-noconsole] [-debug]

DESCRIPTION

     The installer utility invokes a  Web  Start  install  wizard
     sequence which will lead the user through a sequence of ins-
     tallation panels. This installer utility is  found  on  many
     CDs that are shipped with Solaris and it will be found among
     the top level files of these CDs.

     When the installer is on a CD being accessed from a  desktop
     file  manager,  the installer can be double clicked to start
     the installation sequence. If the user is not currently  the
     system's   root   user,  the  root  user  password  will  be
     requested.

     The installer utility  can  also  be  run  from  other  UNIX
     scripts.  Usually,  a script is used in conjunction with the
     utility's -nodisplay option.  Add the -noconsole option  for
     non-interactive scripts.

OPTIONS

     The following options are supported:

     -locales list
           Selects product translations for install,  correspond-
           ing  to the specified list of locales if the specified
           locale translations are present  on  the  installation
           media.  Locales are supplied in a comma-separated list
           following the -locales option. An example  list  would
           appear as follows:

           installer -locales fr,de,it

           This would install products with translations for  the
           French, German, and Italian locales.

     -nodisplay
           Runs the install without a graphical  user  interface.
           Use the default product install unless it was modified
           by the -locales options.

     -noconsole
           Run the install without any interactive  text  console
           device.  Useful  when  paired with -nodisplay for non-
           interactive UNIX script use.

     -debug
           Outputs extra information about what  the  install  is
           doing. Mainly for install diagnostic purposes.
