Installation steps

1. Download the installation package

...

2. Extract the zip package

Create an installation directory with full permissions. Avoid using space or special characters in directory namenames. This directory will be referenced as <installdir> in next steps.

Extract the zip package to the installation directory.

3.

...

Set database connection

Default configuration settings are stored in appsettings.json file. Emakin uses layered multiple JSON configuration files to override configuration settings and changing any default setting in <installdir>/appsettings.json file is not recommended.

...

Example <installdir>/Configuration/appsettings.json file to set a database connection for host administration;

Code Block
languagejs
{
  "DbConnStr": "Host=sqlserver;Database=EMAKIN;Username=emakin;Password=emakin;",
  "ProxyUri" : ""
}

Please see see the Configuration Settings page for further details.

3. Check ports available.

By default emakin Emakin listens from 80, 5000 443, and 7180 port numbers by default. 80 and 443 are used for standard web access. 7180 port is used for host administration panel access and must be accessible only from localhost.

If you have another application running on your server using the same ports, you need to change port numbers from <installdir>/Configuration/appsettings.json configuration file.
