• To install Katana to the current directory and display the installation dialog, type the name of the install file without the file extension and press Return:

• To install Katana to a specified directory and display the installation dialog, use the /dir install option:
Katana3.2v6-win-x86-release-64 /dir="C:\Katana"
• To install Katana silently so that the installer does not prompt you for anything but displays a progress bar, enter /silent after the installation command:
Katana3.2v6-win-x86-release-64 /silent
• To install Katana silently so that nothing is displayed, enter /verysilent after the installation command:
Katana3.2v6-win-x86-release-64 /verysilent
• To install Katana, but not 3Delight, use the /components option:
Katana3.2v6-win-x86-release-64 /components="!delight"
Note: This option does not stop Katana loading the 3Delight renderer at start up if it already exists on the local machine.
• You can also use a combination of install options:
Katana3.2v6-win-x86-release-64 /silent /dir="C:\Katana" /components="!delight"
Note: By using the /silent or /verysilent install options, you agree to the terms of the Katana End User Licensing Agreement. To see this agreement, please refer to End User License Agreement (EULA).
