Console mode mimics the default GUI steps provided by InstallAnywhere, and uses
standard input and output. The biggest advantage to console mode is that UNIX
developers no longer need X-windows (X11) to run their installers.
Console mode allows for text to be output to the console line-by-line. It does not allow
for any formatting, clearing of the screen, or positioning of the cursor.

| Where would you like to create application shortcuts? |

| 2) On the Desktop |
| 3) Don’t create shortcuts |

To trigger a console installer from the command line, type the following command:
installername -i console

When we we run installer in console mode does it automatically mimic GUI Panels like FileInput as console actions or do we need to add seperate actions for console mode?
