with a custom installation script using command-line arguments. You can
download and immediately install software, or download software first, and
then install later.
To install Altera software from the command line, write a custom
installation script that installs the software with options that you specify.
You can run the Altera Installer executable,
altera_installer_cmd.exe<subcommand>[options] (Windows) or
altera_installer_cmd <subcommand>[options] (Linux), iteratively, using
command-line arguments for different functions.

software available from the Altera Installer for Windows via an Internet
connection. Also, the altera_installer_cmd --help command shows Help for
the Altera Installer for Linux.
