SILENT INSTLALLATION VIA NETWORK PUSH INSTRUCTIONS 

Windows, Mac, and Linux 

The instructions assume the user has a working knowledge of command prompt syntax for their local computer and 

operating system. 

In general, we do not support network installations. Those who choose to implement this type of installation should 

be warned that they do so at their own risk. Given these warnings, following are instructions we can provide to those 

users who ask about how to push Workspace, Response, or CPS from a network server to local PCs. The Client Push 

Installation instructions for each software application includes three steps that will give an experienced IT professional the 

information required to push our software to local PCs. We cannot support this process beyond providing this information. 

If additional information is required, please direct your customers to the Microsoft SMS/SCCM support center:

Mac Silent Installer – APP

Note: You may have to extract the app file from the zip file before installation. 

The following command will create the file plus the necessary lines for the silent install: 

• echo INSTALLER_UI=SILENT > installer.properties 

To run the silent install, use the following command from the same directory as the app file: 

• sudo ./Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Installer 

To Uninstall silently, you need to create same file as before in the Uninstall.app: 

• Run the following command replacing ‘Response’ with your application: cd /Applications/eInstruction/ 

Response/Uninstall/Uninstall.app/Contents/Resources 


Create the installer.properties file with the following command: 

• echo INSTALLER_UI=SILENT > installer.properties 

Then run the Uninstall with this command: 

• sudo /Applications/eInstruction/Response/Uninstall/Uninstall.app/Contents/MacOs/Uninstall
