AYANOVA INSTALLATION - WINDOWS SINGLE

Please read through all the instructions below before proceeding with installation to be sure everything is available and ready.

The "single" installation is appropriate for a single user of AyaNova on a Windows 64 bit computer.

This installer includes everything needed to run AyaNova locally on a single computer; a standalone version of the Postgres sql server, the AyaNova server files and all .net core framework files required by AyaNova and the "ayanova-launcher" application which when run will automatically start a standalone Postgres server, then the AyaNova server and finally will launch the default browser to the AyaNova web application to login and start working.

The ayanova-launcher is also responsible for shutting down the Postgres server when the AyaNova server exits.

Configuration fixed

For simplicity of use, the "single" installation is intended for users who will require no configuration changes from the default settings. If this will not work then one of the network installation guides should be followed instead which allow for configuration changes to every setting include ports, folder locations etc.

System requirements

OS : Windows 64 bit operating system
Internet connection : required to install license and to automatically download the Chromium report rendering engine
Disk space: minimum 400mb of free disk space
RAM : 512 MB (minimum), 1 GB (recommended)
Modern web browser (not Internet Explorer) with Javascript enabled

Existing Postgres sql server

The single installer is not appropriate to use with a computer that already has a Postgres sql server installed to it, if that is the case then one of the network installation guides should be followed instead to use your existing Postgres server.

Network Ports

The single user installer will use TCP/IP ports 6432 for the Postgres server and 7575 for the AyaNova server. If these ports are not free then one of the network installation guides should be followed instead.

Folders

Program files : By default (and recommended) AyaNova server program files will be installed to C:\Program Files\ayanova folder
Data files: AyaNova will store all data in the %ProgramData% folder under ayanova which on most computers will be located at C:\ProgramData\ayanova. This includes all logs, backups and User attachment files.

Installation procedure

Download and run the standalone installer from our web site: https://www.ayanova.com/Downloads/v8/ayanova-windows-x64-single-setup.exe. Follow the prompts and accept the defaults. At the end of setup the ayanova-launcher application will start if selected (or you can run it from the desktop icon) and in turn it will start the Postgres server, AyaNova server and then open the default web browser to both the AyaNova server interface and the AyaNova User interface.

Starting and stopping AyaNova server

To shut down the AyaNova server press the ctrl-c key combination in the ayanova-launcher window. To start the AyaNova server use the installed desktop or start menu icon to run the ayanova-launcher.

Getting started and using AyaNova

The next step is to follow the getting started guide for using and administrating AyaNova from a business point of view and also the operations maintenance guide to ensure AyaNova runs smoothly and data is safe and secure.
