Double click the ImagingSystemSetup.exe file, provided with the installation media. You will be prompted to allow the installation - click Yes: If your machine does not meet the minimum system requirements, the following dialog will be displayed - click YES to view the system requirements (you can continue to the installation), click NO to continue the installation: The installation wizard will be displayed. Read and accept the license agreement and click Next: Choose a location on the local machine that will be used for the CAST Imaging installation. The setup will suggest: %PROGRAMFILES%\CAST\ImagingSystem, but you are free to choose a different location. Click Next to continue: Choose locations on the local machine that will be used to store: Click Next to continue: A list of the ports required by CAST Imaging and all its services is then displayed. You can edit any of them if you need to configure a custom port (i.e. a different service is already using the required port). Click Next to continue: If you are re-installing CAST Imaging on the same server: you MUST ensure that you enter the correct customized port number into the installer, otherwise, the relevant Windows Services will fail to start when the installation completes. A brief summary of the chosen options will be displayed. The installation will start when you click Install: The installation will proceed: The finalize screen will then be displayed - this step can take some time to complete (several minutes). Ensure you let the installation complete: The final screen is displayed when the installation is complete: On completion the following screen is displayed indicating that CAST Imaging has been opened in the default browser: If you need to perform a "silent" installation of CAST Imaging, please proceed as follows: Create a template installation (for example a text file) that contains the information required by the CAST Imaging installer as shown below. The file can be stored anywhere on disk and should be named with the .inf extension e.g. C:\temp\imagingsetup.inf: Where: Path to the installation files. The default path used by the interactive installer is C:\Program Files\CAST\ImagingSystem. Use the following command line from a command prompt: Where: Browse to the following URL to check if users can access CAST Imaging. You may wish to check that access is possible from an unrelated machine on the internal network - and if so, ensure that any firewall rules are created to allow access on port 80/8083. Ensure you specify the correct server (change "localhost" if you are testing from a remote server): If the setup has been completed successfully, you will see the following login page in your browser: Click to enlarge By default, a "local" authentication system is active. The default login credentials are as follows: For more information about managing authentication and permissions, see: Once logged in, you will see the following screen - this indicates that the login was successful. No applications will be visible in the list, since no data import has taken place yet. Warnings will be displayed application data access permissions if you are logged in with the "cast" user which does not have the ADMIN role): "admin" user login: On completion of the installation, all files related to CAST Imaging are stored in: The following Windows Services will be created and set to start automatically: 80 (≤ 2.0.0-beta5) 8083 (≥ 2.0.0-beta6) As part of the installation process, the CAST Imaging setup will check that each service is up and running. If any services are not running an error message will be displayed, for example: The mostly likely cause of an error message indicating that a particular service is not running is that some third-party service or software is running on the same port used by the CAST Imaging service. You will need to stop any service that is using the required port and then try to manually start the CAST Imaging service again.Interactive installation process
Silent installation process
Step 1 - Create a template installation file
[Setup]
Lang=english
Dir=C:\my\installation\folder\path
Group=CAST Imaging
NoIcons=0
Tasks=
Neo4jDataDir=C:\my\data\folder\path
ConfigDir=C:\my\config\folder\path
Dir Group This option dictates the name of the entry that will be added to the Windows Program menu, typically this is located here %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. Neo4jDataDir Path to the Neo4j data storage location. The default path used by the interactive installer is C:\ProgramData\CAST\ImagingSystem\Neo4j_data. ConfigDir Path to the CAST Imaging configuration files storage location. The default path used by the interactive installer is %APPDATA%\CAST\ImagingSystem. Step 2 - Run the silent installation
ImagingSystemSetup.exe /SP- /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /LOG="C:\temp\cast_imaging_system_setup_install.log" /LOADINF="C:\temp\imagingsetup.inf"
ImagingSystemSetup.exe This is the installation executable provided with the installation media. /LOG This parameter is optional. If you use the parameter the folder specified must already exist (in the above example C:\temp must exist). /LOADINF This parameter indicates the location of the .inf template file created in Step 1.
