This form of installation is known as an **Unattended Install**. Using this form of setup can help with automated deployments.

!!! Important
Care must be taken when using this form of installation as it will completely overwrite the **server_config.json** file and the service account's **irods_environment.json** file. This can lead to a non-functional server if the configuration files and database do not align. For that reason, it is highly recommended that backups of the configuration files mentioned be created first.

To perform an **Unattended Install**, you'd run the following:
```bash
$ (sudo) python3 /var/lib/irods/scripts/setup_irods.py --json_configuration_file /path/to/your/json/input/file
