h2. Overview 
{styleclass: Class=topLink}[top|#top]{styleclass}
TheThese followingoptions informationare is collected by the installer prior to performing the required for installation:
*# Whether to install the Tutorial Database and Sample Reports
*# Whether to install the SampleUS UsageGeoPack
Reports
* Whether to install the optional Language Packs
* # Location of the Yellowfin Licence File
*# App Server Port
*# Whether to install a Windows Service (only when the graphical installer is run on a Windows system)
*# Connection Parameters for the Yellowfin Database
*# Installation Directory

In the graphical and command-line installations, these values can arebe entered by the user. Default values may be specified in the custom properties file or on the command-line, which will be displayed in the graphical installation.

In the silent installation, there is no user input, so the values specified in the custom properties file and on the command-line are used.


h2. Custom Properties File
{styleclass: Class=topLink}[top|#top]{styleclass}
The custom properties file ({{custom.properties}}) is included in the installer. All options that affect the installation behaviour can be set in this file. See [Adding Files to the Installer] for more information.

By specifying HSQLDB as the database type ({{option.db.dbtype=HSQLDB}}) you are selecting to install into the HSQL embedded database. This will create a self-contained database in the Yellowfin installation, and all other database options are ignored ({{option.db.*}}).

An additional option is used to set the installer interface language:
|{{lang}}|Installer Interface Language|

Currently supported languages are {{en}} - English, {{ja}} - Japanese, and {{fr}} - French. If you do not specify this option, the gui installer will prompt you to select a language before launching:

The command-line installer will use English as the interface language if none is selected.
