Windows Installs

The native Windows installer is provided in 2 modes:

  • The Web Standalone installer - for online, quick, uncomplicated installations to single servers
  • The Advanced installer - for offline installations with more setting and deployment choices and the option to install on multiple machines
  • For Linux installations, click here.
  • For unattended command line installation, click here.

The Windows installer requires internet access to download certain libraries for Python and R.
