New page

=Description=

There are several different installations of Truxton.

=Standalone Install=
From the root of the ISO folder, run <code>Truxton_Installer.exe</code> and accept the defaults.
The database will be running on this machine.
The [[Depot|depot]] files will be stored on a folder on this machine.
This is much like a [[Loader_Configuration#Install|single machine install]].

=Client Server Install=
This installation is where you have a database server and depot folders are shared.

==New Install==
From the root of the ISO folder, run <code>Truxton_Installer.exe</code> and customize it to:
* Put the database onto an SSD drive
* Put the [[Depot|depot]] files into folder in storage

Customize the install by:
* Share the Depot folder. The resulting share name will be something like <code>\\TruxServer\Depot</code>
* Edit [[Configuration_System#Truxton_Settings_File|TruxtonSettings.xml]]

 If you have a system with a small C: drive and at least one large data drive, you will probably want to install Truxton programs on C:, database and data folders on other drives.
 To accomplish this, you must run the database and Truxton installers separately.

		+	===Database Installer===
		+	In the <code>Prerequisites</code> folder, you will find a PostgreSQL installer named something like <code>postgresql-17.4-1-windows-x64.exe</code>, run this installer.
		+	It will ask the following questions:
		+	Installation Directory: This is where the database programs will go. Accepting the default value of <code>C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\17</code> is fine.
		+	Select Components: The only two you need are "PostgreSQL Server" and "Command Line Tools"
		+	Data Directory: This is the critical choice. The data folder is where the database will write all of its data files. If your large data drive is drive <code>D:</code>, enter "D:\Truxton Data\Database\data" as the folder name.
		+	Password: By default, the database password is Truxton4n6
		+	Port: Accepting the default of 5432 is fine.
		+	Advanced Options: Choose "C" as the Locale.
		+	Complete the installation.
