Web Installer
Pre-Requisites
- Install an SQL Express, MS SQL, MySQL, MariaDB server, or use an existing one. For testing, you can opt for the file based Sqlite
DatabaseType
. - Create an empty database, a new database user to connect with, and permissions and logons set. If you chose Sqlite, choose a destination directory and prepare folder permissions.
- Refer to your database documentation for security setup and best practices
- Download and Install .NET Core 8.x Runtime from Microsoft
- If running under IIS, you will also need the .NET Core 8.x Web Hosting Bundle, also from Microsoft.
- Installing via the Web installer is the recommended method as it performs all required pre-installation checks automatically, and configures the application to launch based on the chosen installation type.
The Web installer allows installing the application under IIS, or as a stand-alone service installed under Program Files.
It always installs the latest version.
