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 installation panels. This  in‐
       staller	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  man‐
       ager,  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, corresponding
		       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.

FILES
       /var/sadm/install/logs	       location of installation log files
