To install the OpenEdge Command Center server in console mode, you use the -i console option. The console mode provides a text-based installation process, which is suitable for systems that do not support GUI.

The installation program downloads and installs both the OpenEdge Command Center server and MongoDB.

Before you begin, ensure that you have administrator privileges on the target system.
Note: If the firewall on your system restricts the internet access, the installer cannot download the MongoDB package. In this case, you must manually provide the MongoDB package for installation. For more information, see Provide MongoDB package for offline installation.
