Install a PingDirectory server in a production or QA environment with no security enabled.

Extract the distribution .zip file, review “Before You Begin”, and then use setup with the --no-prompt option for non-interactive mode from the <server-root> directory.

The following command uses the default root user distinguished name (DN) (cn=Directory Manager) with the specified --rootUserPassword option. You must include the --acceptLicense option or the setup generates an error message. The --instancename option specifies the name for the server instance and should be unique across all instances in the topology. The --location option specifies the name of the location in which the instance will be installed. You should generally configure your topology with a separate location for each data center to allow inter-server communication to prioritize servers in the same location over those in remote locations.
```
$ ./setup --no-prompt --rootUserPassword "password" \ 
  --baseDN "dc=example,dc=com" --acceptLicense --ldapPort 389 \
  --instancename Instance1 --location Location1
```
