Installing Zend Core

Zend Core can be installed either automatically using the 'unattended installation' method, or manually using either a GUI-based interface or a text-based interface (Unix/Linux/Mac OS's only).

To run an 'unattended' installation on Linux/Unix/Mac:

Download and extract the Zend Core installation package.
Open your CLI.
In the Zend Core installation package directory, run the following command:

install -n

Zend Core will be automatically installed according to the settings defined in the bundled core.ini file.

To change the settings, open the core.ini file, located in the 'installer' directory, and edit the required parameters, or run a manual installation.

See the Zend Core Installation Guide for more details.

To run an 'unattended' installation on Windows:

Download and extract the Zend Core installation package.
Create an 'answers.ini.' file following the instructions in the Zend Core Installation Guide.
Open your CLI.
Run the following command:

<Zend_Core_Setup_File_Name>.exe --unattended <location_of_answers.ini>\answers.ini

e.g:

ZendCore-2.5.0-Windows-x86.exe --unattended C:\answers.ini

Zend Core will be automatically installed according to the settings defined in the answers.ini file.

To change the settings, open the answers.ini file and edit the required parameters, or run a manual installation.

See the Zend Core Installation Guide for more details.
