Installing Using the Command Line
In Linux, the installer is a .run file; you can run it from the command line or from a graphical environment. To start the installer from the command line, open a bash shell, and enter the name of the installer file. For example:
./TIB_js-jrs_7.5.0_linux_x86_64.run
Whether you run the installer from the command line or in a graphical environment, you'll be prompted for the same information. If you're installing from the command line, use your keyboard to specify your answers. For example, with the license text, instead of clicking I accept the agreement, press Y and press Enter.
