Normal installation

The normal installation method is the most common and recommended way of deploying Exponential. It requires a system which already has the proper environment installed, most notably a web server and a database. The necessary requirements are explained in detail within the next section. A typical normal installation process consists of the following steps:

• Setting up / creating a database
• Downloading a packaged Exponential distribution
• Unpacking the Exponential distribution
• Initiating and going through the web based setup wizard

Once the web based setup wizard has completed, Exponential will be ready for use.
