How do I perform a non-graphical and a non-interactive installation of MCRInstaller.bin on Linux/unix/Mac?

I would like to perform a non-graphical, silent, or otherwise customized install of the MCR on Linux/UNIX/Mac machines. The MATLAB Compiler documentation covers the command-line flags for the Windows versions of MCRInstaller.exe, but not the Linux/UNIX/Mac equivalent MCRInstaller.bin.

To install MCR on Linux/Unix/Mac in a non-graphical mode, refer to the following set of commands:

 

MCRInstaller.bin -is:extract

The files are extracted in a temp folder, which is deleted when the set up is complete (after the files are extracted from the jar file).

The files can be extracted from the jar file using the following command:

 

java -jar setup.jar -console

Another option to install the MCRInstaller in a non-graphical mode is using the following command:

 

MCRInstaller.bin -console

To perform non-interactive, non-GUI installation of MCR on Linux, execute the following command:

 

./MCRInstaller.bin –P bean421.installLocation=”desiredInstallPath” –silent

The ability to perform non-intractive MCR installation on MAC is not available in MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b).

The documentation on the MCRInstaller.bin command-line options is missing from the MATLAB Compiler documentation. Please see the related solution for the list of complete commands.
