Installation Overview
When installing K2 blackpearl, the Setup Manager will walk you through selecting the components based on the prerequisites or dependencies being available prior to install. After the Setup Manager copies and installs the necessary files, the Configuration Manager will run. This will configure the K2 blackpearl environment, and will ask for different details based on the components installed.
Installing K2 blackpearl can be done in a number of ways:
- Standalone System: All K2 components (with the possible exception of the K2 Databases) are installed on a single server
- Distributed Environment: K2 components are separated onto various servers
- Client Tools Only: Installs the Development tools. These tools enable the K2 Process Developers to build processes collateral for the K2 Environment
Once the components are installed, the Setup Manager runs the Configuration Manager in order to configure the K2 Environment. If changes are required, the configuration manager can be re - run to update configuration entries, such as changing user accounts, URLs or server names, etc.
If there are errors with the installation and environment configuration, the K2 Configuration Analysis tool will be run automatically once the Setup Manager is complete to identify the error s and assist the person installing the K2 components to resolve them.
The next sections will walk you through either scenario and help you configure your environment.

While not required, it is strongly recommended to close all other open applications, including anti-virus software and other disk-intensive applications, before installing K2 blackpearl. While K2 will install successfully, the performance of the installer may be hindered by the applications. |
