## Installing in Console Mode

### Overview

The installer's console mode is provided for situations where you want to have control over what is installed, but cannot launch a Java GUI. In console mode, you are presented with the same options as in GUI mode.

| Note
Console mode is only for UNIX and Linux systems. Do not use the `-i console` option when installing on Windows.
