Installation Process

Necto Installation Files

Necto Installation file: Necto_Setup_x.x.x.x.x.exe x.x.x.x.x represents the GA build of Necto 14

Necto License file

Necto Installation Files

Simple installation Single machine required

Production Installation Multiple machines required The Installer must be run on each machine

(Installer and license file required on each machine)

Extract Installation FilesDouble-click to extract installation files

Extract Installation FilesOnce Extraction has occurred you may be asked to restart you machine to proceed

Restart the machine and continue to installation by executing PanoramaNectoSuite.cmd

Installation Wizard Starts

Locate License File

Provide Installation Directory

Choose Installation TypeFor the simple installation you will get this prompt

Choose Installation TypeClicking on either option will show this prompt for the installer to check for missing components, before continuing

Once again you maybe asked to restart the machine at this point

Simple Installation

Production Installation

Define Account for Necto Services

Account should have administrator rights on:

• Necto Server• SQL Server• OLAP Server

Install Other Necto servers first

Select ‘Other Necto Servers’, on the machine that will eventually become either the Necto Database and or the Necto In-Memory engine machine

Production Installation Other Servers

Install Other Necto Application Server

Select ‘Necto Application Server’, on the machine that will host Necto itself.
