2.3 Installation in the unattended mode
To install the product or any of its components in the unattended mode (without asking for
confirmations), run the installation file with the -a command-line parameter. You may need to use
other parameters (p. 6) to specify how to perform the installation.
For example, the following command installs Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Linux and
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console in the unattended mode (without asking for
confirmations) and uses the license key 12345-7890-ABCDE:
./AcronisBackupRecoveryServerLinux.i686 -a -i
BackupAndRecoveryAgent,ManagementConsole -l 12345-67890-ABCDE
2.4 Command-line parameters
When running the AcronisBackupRecoveryServerLinux.i686 installation file, you can specify one or
more of command-line parameters.
Parameters
-a or --auto
Performs installation in the so-called unattended setup mode, as opposed to the default
interactive mode.
The setup program will proceed without asking for interaction, such as typing the license key or
clicking the Next buttons. Specify the license key by using the -l parameter. Specify the
component to install by using the -i parameter.
If the SnapAPI module needs to be compiled and the compilation is possible, the setup program
will automatically compile the module; otherwise, it will skip the compilation.
-n or --nodeps
Ignores dependencies during an unattended setup. This option is effective only in the
unattended setup mode (see the -a parameter described previously).
-u or --uninstall
Uninstalls the component. You do not need to specify a license key.
-d or --debug
Puts verbose information to the installation log.
-i ComponentName or --id=ComponentName
Specifies the name of the component being installed:
For Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Linux: BackupAndRecoveryAgent
For Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Bootable Components and Media Builder:
BackupAndRecoveryBootableComponents
For Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console: ManagementConsole
For Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Upgrade Tool: AcronisUpgradeTool
Without this parameter, all components will be installed.
-l LicenseKey or --serial=LicenseKey
Applies only to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Linux and Acronis Media Builder.
