2.4 Command-line parameters

When running the installation file of Acronis Backup, you can specify one or more of command-line
parameters.

Common parameters

-a or --auto

Performs installation in the so-called unattended setup mode, as opposed to the default
interactive mode.
The setup program will proceed without asking for interaction, such as typing the license key or
clicking the Next buttons. Specify the license key by using the -l parameter. Specify the
component to install by using the -i parameter.
If the SnapAPI module needs to be compiled and the compilation is possible, the setup program
will automatically compile the module; otherwise, it will skip the compilation.

-n or --nodeps

Ignores dependencies during an unattended setup (see the -a parameter described previously).
With this parameter, the setup will proceed even if the packages necessary for the software to
work are not installed. If any dependencies are missing, software functionality will be limited.

-u or --uninstall

Uninstalls the component. You do not need to specify a license key.

-s or --disable-native-shared

Forces using the setup program’s own redistributable libraries during installation, instead of
those present in the system.
Redistributable libraries are standard sets of internal tools. Programs use these libraries for
purposes such as displaying the user interface.
The setup program contains copies of all the libraries it needs. By default, it uses a copy of a
library only when no such library is present in the system. With this parameter, the setup
program always uses the copy.
You may want to use this parameter when experiencing problems with installation; for example,
when the user interface of the setup program is not displayed correctly.

-d or --debug

Puts verbose information to the installation log.

-i or --id=

Specifies the name of the component being installed:

For Acronis Backup Agent for Linux: BackupAndRecoveryAgent
For Acronis Backup Bootable Components and Media Builder:
BackupAndRecoveryBootableComponents
For Acronis Backup Management Console: ManagementConsole

The names are case-sensitive.
Without this parameter, all components will be installed.

-v or --version
