Install Using CLI: Windows

Optionally perform a silent installation of Seeker on Windows using the CLI (Command Line Interface).

Running the Silent Installer in Synchronous Mode

Start the Windows Command Prompt, and run the downloaded SeekerSetup.exe file in synchronous mode. Use the start /b /wait flags before the SeekerSetup.exe command, for example: start /b /wait SeekerSetup.exe /S /install_type=1 /install_path="c:\Synopsys\Seeker" /seeker_http_port=8080 /seeker_https_port=8443.

The installer will write a number of output messages ending with the following:

Seeker Installer: Seeker silent installation finished successfully.
