Getting Ready

Please perform the following tasks before starting the install.

• Download the latest setup zip file from your account page.
• Have the SQL connection information ready, including the SQL login and password that was used during the database installation.
• Note: The setup routine will automatically install the web server role and features needed, including IIS (Internet Information Services) and the Hosting Bundle for Windows Server.

Installation steps

1. Extract the setup zip file.
2. From the web server, run the setup-database.exe file.
   
3. Continue with the default install path or choose another.
4. Accept the license terms and conditions, then click Next.
5. Provide the same SQL Server connection information that was used during the database install.
   
6. Click Test to verify the connection and credentials to the database.
7. Once the test is successful, click Next.
8. Click New to create a new database encryption key or paste your own generated key. The original encryption key should be used if this server is part of an existing instance of System Frontier.
   _{Note: If you click the Copy button, it may take a few seconds before the key appears in your clipboard.}
   
9. Click Install.
   _{The install may take several minutes to complete.}
   
10. Once the installation has completely successfully, click Finish.
    

Next Steps

From the web server, verify the app is online by going to Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager > (this web server) > Sites > SystemFrontierV2 > Actions > Browse Website and click the Browse link to open the website in the local browser.

You should see the default dashboard for a new install, verifying the web application was installed correctly and is connected to the database with a valid license key.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed System Frontier. Now you’ll want to complete the post-install steps.
