The general form to run a silent product installation on Linux systems from the command line is:

You can use the following arguments when running a silent installation:

`-silent` | Initiates a silent installation.
`-help` | Displays a list of valid arguments for a silent installation.

In order to perform a silent installation, you must create a silent installation file. This file is described in Appendix O: Creating a Silent Installation File.
