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.

The "Installing Exponential on a Linux/UNIX based system" and "Installing Exponential on Windows" sections (depending on the target OS) will take you through the necessary steps.
