Install the DigiCert Trust Assistant in silent mode
This section covers how you can install DigiCert® Trust Assistant using the installers' silent mode. When you use silent mode, no installer dialog appears, so using this mode is a convenient method for the administrators to automate the installation to multiple user computers in the organization.
There are four installers (two each for Windows and macOS), and they can be installed, upgraded, and uninstalled in silent mode:
DigiCert® Trust Assistant for Windows
DigiCert Software KeyStore Provider for Windows
DigiCert® Trust Assistant for macOS
DigiCert Software KeyStore Token for macOS
Note
The silent mode can be used only through the command line interface.
