Setup Guide - Part 2A: Standard Installation

With the SQL and SSAS configurations completed in Part 1, we can now finish the setup process by installing Kepion onto the Web Server.

Standard Installation

1. Download the file 6.0 Kepion Setup x64.zip from the Kepion Resource Center: Software Downloads > v6.0.

2. Unzip the folder and run the setup file Kepion Planning 6.0.msi on your Web Server machine.

3. Select Next.

4. Accept the terms of the license agreement.

5. Click Change... to specify the destination folder for the installation. 

6. Click Next.

7. Click Install. 

8. Click Finish to exit the Installation Wizard.

Configure Kepion

The Kepion Configuration Wizard should immediately open after closing the Installation window. In the event that it doesn't, open it manually through the Windows Start menu.

Tip: Is the Configuration Wizard failing to load? Check out this article to fix the issue.

1. For a brand new installation, select Create a new application host. If this is not the first time this web server is being configured for deployment, select Connect to an existing one.

2. Select Next. 

3. Enter your Database Server (SQL Server) and Database Name. The default name used is "CPMAppHost." You can also change the default server language if desired.

4. Select Next.

5. Enter the username and password of your Kepion Service Account. This is the Kepion SI we previously created and will be the account that runs the Web Server and the connection to both the SQL and the SSAS Servers.

6. Select Next.

7. Click Finish to open Kepion!
