Installation steps

Step 1 – Preparations

Before you begin, you must:

•	Confirm you have the software and hardware that is required for each StreamServe component you want to install. See Supported platforms and software documentation.

•	Install any third-party software that is required, for example Apache Tomcat.

•	Obtain user names and passwords to any third-party systems that are required, for example, to the database server, Java application server, and directory server. Or, contact the administrators who are responsible for these systems to arrange access.

•	Prepare the database server(s) that you will use to host the StreamServe repositories. See Database requirements for StreamServe repositories.

Step 2 – Install Framework and StreamServer

To install Framework and StreamServer, see:

•	Installing Framework and StreamServer on Windows

•	See Installing Framework and StreamServer on UNIX

Step 3 – Install Control Center

•	Installing Control Center.

Step 4 – Install StreamStudio (optional)

To use Control Center to deploy the StreamStudio web application files to the Java application server, you must install Framework and StreamServer on the same computer as StreamStudio, and then connect the computer to the central enterprise repository. You can then use Control Center on any computer connected to the same enterprise repository to deploy and administer these applications.

To install StreamStudio, see:

•	Installing StreamStudio on Windows

•	Installing StreamStudio on UNIX

Step 5 – Install Design Center

If you want to run Design Center on a computer with other StreamServe components, you must configure the other components on the computer to use the central enterprise repository.

You can also install Design Center on a computer without any other StreamServe components.

Installing Design Center on a separate computer

See Installing Design Center.

Installing Design Center on a computer with other StreamServe components

1	Install Framework and StreamServer. See Installing Framework and StreamServer on Windows.

2	Install Control Center. See Installing Control Center.

3	Install the other StreamServe components as required, for example, Framework and StreamServer.

4	Install Design Center. See Installing Design Center.

5	After you create the central enterprise repository, open Control Center and connect to the enterprise repository. See Step 1 – Get started in Control Center in Control Center documentation.
