# QloApps Installation through Command Line Interface (CLI)

QloApps allows its installation using Command Line Interface (CLI) as well. This method of installation has been provided for advanced users who may want to automate installation process using scripts. QloApps provides install/index_cli.php script which is responsible for installation in CLI mode.

This mode requires you to call the PHP interpreter on this file along with the available arguments.

To list all the available options and their default values run the following command from inside install\ folder:

php index_cli.php
