How to install the Nuxeo Platform from the Windows installer

This procedure will explain how to install on your computer the Nuxeo Platform with the main dependencies (pdftohtml, imagemagick, ...) without technical knowledge. We strongly recommend this procedure for Windows Platform installation. Here is the procedure:

1. In the Download Page, choose into the "Windows package" section, the "Nuxeo Platform Windows Installer (.exe)" download link,

2. double-click on the .exe installer you downloaded and follow the instructions displayed (you can accept default configurations).

   On Windows in general, and especially on Windows 7, it is highly recommended to install your Nuxeo application at the root of C:\, because of rights issues, limitations on paths length, 32/64 bits conflicts,... An installation in another folder could provoke restart issues at end of the startup wizard steps.

    

   
3. You can now start the server, but some dependencies are missing so you may have some service not available (preview, annotation, ...).
4. If you want to do a complete installation, compatible for a production environment? You should now prepare your environment.

How to install the Nuxeo Platform from the .zip archive

Installing the Nuxeo Platform using the .zip package installs the Nuxeo Platform only. External dependencies must be installed separately.

1. In the Download Page, choose into the "Multi-platform package" section,  the "Nuxeo Platform Tomcat bundle (.zip)" download link,

2. Unzip the .zip archive downloaded using your favorite tool.

How to install a Nuxeo Virtual machine image

The Nuxeo Platform is available as ready-to-use virtual machine images from nuxeo.com. VM images are available for VMWare and Virtual Box. They provide a full environment (OS, database…) and all required dependencies to make the Nuxeo Platform work.

1. Download VMWare or Virtual Box and install it on your desktop,
2. In the Download Page, choose into the "Ready-to-run Virtual Machine Images" section, the download link according the Virtual Machine tool you installed on the step 1.,
3. Unzip the downloaded package.
   You get a folder with the required file for the virtual machine image to run.
4. Start the virtual machine image in your virtual machine application by double-clicking on it.
   • For the VMWare package, double-click on the file "nuxeo.vmx".
   • For the OVF package, double-click on the .ovf file that corresponds to the supported standard: "nuxeo_OVF10.ovf" for Open Virtualization Format 1.0, supported by Virtual Box for instance, or "nuxeo_OVF09.ovf" for Open Virtualization Format 0.9. Then start the imported virtual machine.
     The VM image starts.
     
     Then, the Nuxeo application automatically starts.
     
     When the Nuxeo application is started, it displays the address at which it is available.
     
5. In your browser, type the indicated address.
   The startup wizard is displayed to help you configure your application.

   Shell root access The password for the root and nuxeo users are generated the first time you start the virtual machine and are displayed on the console.
