Getting SobekCM

Before continuing with installation, you may want to review the server architecture documentation and the requirements documentation.

Installation Components

There are several installation components which will need to be installed. As the installer, you will need to decide which services you wish to put on the same servers after reading the server architecture documentation. You will need a web server running IIS and .NET 10 for the web application. You will also need access to a Microsoft SQL or PostgresSQL database and a server running Solr/Lucene. It will often make sense to run these on the same server, along with the SobekCM Builder/Bulk Loader software.

It is best to at least determine where your database will live first. Then, you can skip ahead to installing the web application followed by the builder/bulk loader. The Solr/Lucene can be installed at any time during this process. The notes below will guide you through the installation process for each of the components:

Instructions for getting the main web application working are detailed below.
