Since 8.4.8, automated installation was included but not published or
documented. The following documentation comes straight out of the comments
in the installer code:

--directory DIR

The installer goes auto and installs the distribution
into the directory DIR. The directory for the demos
is derived from that, it is DIR/demos. This can be
overridden. See below. The runtime directory is DIR as
well. This can be overridden. See below.

--demo-directory DIR

Overrides the location of the demo directory. See above.
The option is ignored if the installer is not in auto-mode.

--runtime-directory DIR

Specify directory to patch in. Optional. Ignored if
automatic mode was not activated with --directory.
Ignored on Windows.

--user-mode

Windows only, ignored on Unix. Install for the current
user. Default is to install for all users, i.e. admin-mode.
The option is ignored if the installer is not in auto-mode.

--no-plugin

Deactivates the installation of the plugin and all related
stuff. Optional. Default for automatic mode is to install
the plugin. The option is ignored if the installer is not in auto-mode.
