Installation

Use the Ingeniux CMS 10.5 software and site instance installer wizards to set up and configure CMS 10.5 and RavenDB 4.2.

If you're installing CMS 10.5 for the first time, follow this process:

1. Review Ingeniux CMS 10.5 Prerequisites to ensure your system meets hardware and software requirements.
2. Prepare Windows Server for the installation. Choose the set of instructions that matches your Windows Server release:
   • Configuring Windows Server 2019 for Ingeniux CMS 10.5.
   • Configuring Windows Server 2016 for Ingeniux CMS 10.5.
   • Configuring Windows Server 2012 for Ingeniux CMS 10.5.
   • Configuring Windows Server 2008 for Ingeniux CMS 10.5.
3. Install the Ingeniux CMS 10.5 Software Platform.
4. Create an Ingeniux CMS 10.5 Site Instance.

   Note: Before installing a DSS instance, you must first configure a publishing target and then execute a publish to the configured target.

5. Once you successfully publish to a target, you can install an Ingeniux CMS 10.5 DSS Instance.
