Manual Installation

Manual installation requires following dependencies before continue to install

DotNet Core 5.0 (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0)
Redis (https://redis.io/download)
Database Server (Postgres, Oracle, MS Sql Server is supported)
BaseX Server (https://basex.org/download/)

Installation steps

1. Download the installation package

Download the zip page depending on your environment, Linux or Windows packages distributed separately.

2. Extract the zip package

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

Extract the zip package to 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.

Create a new file in <installdir>/Configuration directory with appsettings.json name and set updated configuration setting in this file.

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

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

Please see Configuration Settings page for further details.

3. Check ports available.

Emakin listens from 80, 443, 5000 port numbers by default. 80 and 443 used for standard web access. 5000 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 same ports, you need to change port numbers from <installdir>/Configuration/appsettings.json configuration file.

How to set web access port numbers

Edit <installdir>/Configuration/appsettings.json file.

Add following setting in configuration file and change (http) 80 or (ssl) 443 numbers to free ports on your server. In this example we change http port to 800 and ssl port to 4430.

{
  "Web": {
    "Kestrel": {
      "Endpoints": {
        "Http": {
          "Url": "http://*:800"
        },
        "Https": {
          "Url": "https://*:4430"
        }
      }
    },
   }
}

How to set host administration port number

Edit <installdir>/Configuration/appsettings.json file.
Add following setting in configuration file and change host administration (5000) to free ports on your server. In this example we change host administration to 5001.
```
{
  "HostAdmin": {
    "Kestrel": {
      "Endpoints": {
        "Http": {
          "Url": "http://*:5001"
        }
      }
    },
   }
}
```
