When running the NetVault installer, you can use the --mode option to specify the installation mode. Generally, you do not need to use this option because the installer automatically uses the default mode. If, for any reason, the default mode cannot be initialized, then the installer tries to use the alternative GUI or text modes, if available. For example, on Linux, if the GTK libraries are unavailable, the default gtk mode cannot be initialized. In such cases, the installer tries to use the xwindow mode, and if no X Server is detected, the installer defaults to text mode.
The following table lists the supported installation modes.

To run the installer in unattended mode, it is necessary to use the --mode option; the installer does not automatically switch to this mode. The --mode option is also required to run the installer in text mode on machines that support GUI (for example, to perform remote installations on Linux- or UNIX-based systems).
The installer generates a log file in the system temporary directory. The file is named as follows: netvault_{GUID}_install.log, where {GUID} is unique for each installation occurrence (for example, netvault_274bffb2-a3c1-457e-7f5e-221bf60a7689_install.log).
If an installation or upgrade is unsuccessful, the installer may not generate the regular log file. Instead, the installer may leave an intermediate log file is named bitrock_installer.log or bitrock_installer_nnn.log in the system temporary directory.
