Option 1: Standard Setup

(Recommended)

Here you'll find links to our Standard Setup Guide series. If you've never used Kepion before, we highly recommend this is the place to start. This series will walk you through every facet of the Kepion environment and how to configure everything you need from start to finish.

Option 2: Manual Setup

Here are the links to the Manual Setup Guide. This series is the same as the Standard Setup Guide except for Part 4: Installation, where we install Kepion without the use of the Installation Wizard. Unless this is a requirement for your environment, it's not recommended to install Kepion this way.

Option 3: Quick Setup

(For IT Users)

If you've installed Kepion before, or just want to get it up and running as quickly as possible, the following Quick Setup Guide is where you should begin. Note, however, that in exchange for its brevity, this article is missing a lot of context and important information regarding the installation process. It's recommended to also read over the Standard Setup Guide in the future, as well.
