 ==== Running the installer in text-only mode ====
   - If you're on Linux or Mac, give the binary of the installer execute permissions
-  - Then run it by passing in the text-only flag, as shown below.
+  - Then run it by passing in the -textonly flag, as shown below.
   - Follow the instructions on the screen thereafter. If you mistype at any stage, press ctrl-C to start again.

+**NOTE:** Previously, the instructions for running the installer in text-only mode were incorrect. They advised running the installer wrongly using ''./Greenstone-3.06rc1-linux-x64 text-only'', which rather triggered the default behaviour of the installer software (antinstaller) for a different kind of text-only installation rather than triggering the Greenstone installer's specific -textonly mode. Unfortunately, the wrong route would not install the bundled JRE into the Greenstone installation, despite requiring the Greenstone user to run the ''java'' command in the very next step of the install.
