# Command Line Options and Properties

The Tableau installer command line accepts two types of values: options and properties. Options are a list of flags that control the behaviour of the command line. Properties provide the action or list of actions that you want implemented.

## Installer options

You can specify one or more options as part of the command line. Note the following about options:

- Each option is prefixed with a slash (`/`).
- Options must come before properties.

<table class="simple-table"><colgroup><col style="width: 200px;"><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th>Option</th><th>Description</th></tr><tr><td><code>quiet</code></td><td>Run the installer without messages (status or installation progress) and without requiring user interaction. The product doesn't launch after installation is complete.</td></tr><tr><td><code>passive</code></td><td>Run the installer and display dialog boxes and installation status. But does not prompt the user for input. The product launches after installation is complete.</td></tr><tr><td><code>norestart</code></td><td>Suppress any attempts to restart. By default, the installer will prompt you before restart unless you run the installer in quiet mode.</td></tr><tr><td><code>log "<em>logfile.txt</em>"</code></td><td>Log installation information to the specified path and file. Specify the path and file name, such as <code>/log "c:\logs\logfile.txt"</code>. The default log file is the system <code>%TEMP%</code> directory.</td></tr><tr><td><code>repair</code></td><td>Run the installer to repair an existing installation of Tableau.</td></tr><tr><td><code>uninstall</code></td><td>Uninstall an existing installation of Tableau.</td></tr><tr><td><code>h</code></td><td>Help – lists options and properties for the installer.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Installer properties

You can include one or more properties in the command line for the installer. Note the following about these properties:

- These properties can't be used to update any settings after initial installation.

- Property names and values are case sensitive.
- There are no spaces on either side of the equal sign.
- Each property set is delimited with a space.
- Some properties are version specific.

<table class="simple-table"><colgroup><col style="width: 257px;"><col><col style="width: 150px;"><col style="width: 184px;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th>Property</th><th>Description</th><th>Product Version</th><th>Value</th></tr><tr><td><code>ACCEPTEULA</code></td><td>Accept the End User Licence Agreement (EULA).
