Installing MetaMiner Server and Administrator
After downloading MetaMiner, it should now be stored locally, on the host where we will install it next.
To install MetaMiner Server and MetaMiner Administrator, perform the following steps in the specified order:
| 1. | Log in to a computer where you plan to install MetaMiner Server as a user with local Administrator privileges, so you are able to install programs and configure your server. |
| 2. | Locate the previously downloaded binary file - for example, MetaMiner-ENTERPRISE-windows-x64-5.1.710.exe |
| 3. | Antivirus software can affect the speed of the installation. Therefore it is recommended, is possible, to disable any virus scanning software during the installation of MetaMiner. |
| 4. | Right-click the downloaded media and choose Run as Administrator from the context menu. Normally, the Windows SmartScreen filter shows up and warns you that a previously unknown application from a new manufacturer is trying to start. |
| 5. | Click a button to view details and then to run the application anyway. The confirmation dialog box opens. |
| 6. | Click Yes. The Infolytik MetaMiner installation wizard comes up: |
| 7. | Wait while the installation package is prepared. Then, Welcome screen opens: |
| 8. | Click Next. If MetaMiner Server was previously installed on this computer, the Backup screen opens: |
| 9. | Back up your MetaMiner Database, then click Next. The License Agreement screen opens: |
| 10. | Read and accept the license agreement. Click Next. The Select Destination Folder screen opens: |
| 11. | Specify the destination directory (for example, this could be your hard drive for application named E:) for MetaMiner program files. Click Next. The Select Components screen opens: |
| 12. | Select MetaMiner Server + MetaMiner Administrator only, or both Server+Administrator and Client components. Click Next. |
Tip
It can make sense to install both so Administrators can access/troubleshoot your BI data from the same computer. Otherwise, a "client only" installation should be performed when installing the software at a user's workstation.
| 13. | The dialog box may open warning you that all MetaMiner applications will now quit (if now running). Click OK. |
| 14. | The installation of files will now begin as seen in the following image: |
| 15. | The final step allows you to immediately launch the MetaMiner Administrator. Just click Finish: |
| 16. | Now that the installation is complete and the MetaMiner Administrator application has started, you can proceed to the next step: Registering the License Key. |
