# RMT Server Initialisation Script Options

After installing the RMT Server you need to initialise the Server. By default the only required flag you must include when running the initialisation script is `--accepteula`. Other options give you flexibility to customise the installation based on your environment and the security requirements of your enterprise.

\--accepteula

Required.

Indicates you have read and accepted the terms of the End User Licence Agreement (EULA).

\-a <username>

Optional.

Add the provided username to the appropriate groups, instead of the user running the initialise script. This gives the user access to the resources owned by the groups. This is not the same as the Run As user account.

Default: the user running the initialisation script

\-f

Optional.

Bypass warning messages or distribution version check.

\-h | -?

Optional.

Displays the script's help text.

\-q

Optional.

Quiet, suppress output except for errors and warnings.

\--debug

Optional.

Print each command as it is run for debugging purposes. Produces extensive output.
