Silent installation of JetBrains Toolbox App on Windows

A silent installation may be needed if you want to automate the installation using third-party tools.

Starting with the JetBrains Toolbox version 2.4 on Windows OS, you can achieve this using CLI commands.

Install

By default, only the installation is performed without launching the application. You can manage this behavior by setting an environment variable.

Set the environment variable to 1 to launch the Toolbox App after installation. A value of 0 equals the default state, and the Toolbox App will not launch after installation.

$env: START_JETBRAINS_TOOLBOX_AFTER_INSTALL=1
