h3. Running the Package Installer
If you choose to install Sun Studio Express using the package installer rather than the tarfile installer, note that you can run the package installer in either interactive mode or silent mode. Running the installer in interactive mode lets you choose the installation directory and select which components of Sun Studio Express 3/09 to install. In silent mode, the installer installs all components of the product in the default installation directory.

When you run the package installer, you can specify the following options:
| {{\--javahome _directory{_}}} | Use the JVM in the specified directory to run the installer. By default the  installer looks for a JVM in the directory specified by the {{JAVA_HOME{}}} environment variable and in several standard locations. |
| {{\--tempdir _directory{_}}} | Use the specified directory for extracting temporary installation data. By default the installer uses the directory specified by the {{TMPDIR{}}} environment variable. |
| {{\--output _out{_}}} | Redirect all output to the file {{{_}out._}} |
| {{\--verbose}} | Use verbose output. |
| {{\--locale _locale{_}}} | Override default locale with specified locale. |
| {{\--silent}} \\ | Run installer silently. This option installs all components of the Sun Studio Express software and generates no output. You can use the return code or the log files in {{$HOME/.nbi/log}} to determine the status of the installation. |
| {{\--help}} \\ | Display help on installer options. |
| {{\--record _state{_}.xml}} | Records the states of components from the specified state file. |
| {{\--silent-logs-dir _directory{_}}} | Output silent logs to the specified directory. These logs contain information about system configuration and reasons for installation failure. |
