Read me first
Installing Informer on your own server takes a license file and a few decisions made up front. Settle these before you start, and read through the full installation guide once before beginning so the steps are familiar.
You need a license file
Before installing, request a license file from Entrinsik for your installation. If you are installing in a multitenant environment, you need one license per tenant. If you have not received your license file, contact Informer Support at i5support@entrinsik.com.
If you are an Informer 4 customer, your Informer 4 license file will not work with Informer 5. Request a license file specifically for Informer 5.
Check the requirements
Verify that your server meets the System requirements before starting a new installation.
Plan for HTTPS
We strongly recommend configuring Informer for HTTPS access. The steps depend on how you install: see Configuring HTTPS (Windows) or Configuring HTTPS (Linux w/ Docker). Decide now whether you have your certificate and private key ready, since the installer asks during setup.
Installing on Windows
The Windows installer asks a few questions that are hard to change afterwards. Settle them with the Before you begin section of Installing Informer (Windows).
