Description

There are several different installations of Truxton.

Community Edition Install

Download the zip file and unzip it into a folder.

Single Drive Install

Run Truxton_Installer.exe and accept the defaults. This will install everything onto the C: drive.

Multiple Drive Install

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. Let's assume you have a system with the following drives:

Drive Task Size
C: OS 256GB
D: Database 4TB
E: Bulk Data 128TB

Database Installer

In the Prerequisites folder, you will find a PostgreSQL installer named something like postgresql-17.4-1-windows-x64.exe, run this installer. It will ask the following questions: Installation Directory: This is where the database programs will go. Accepting the default value of C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\17 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 D:, 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.

Truxton Installer

Once the database is installed onto its own drive, it is time to install Truxton. Run Truxton_Installer.exe. It will install the pieces it needs to run first, then ask you "Would you like to use the default options?" Respond by hitting the N key. The Truxton setup window will now be displayed. The important setting here is the "Depot Data Directory:" This is the path to where you want the large depot files will be stored. Enter "E:\Truxton Data" Finish the install.

Stand-alone Install

From the root of the ISO folder, run Truxton_Installer.exe and accept the defaults. The database will be running on this machine. The depot files will be stored on a folder on this machine. This is much like a single machine install.

Client Server Install

This installation is where you have a database server and depot folders are shared.

New Install

Server

From the root of the ISO folder, run Truxton_Installer.exe and customize it to:

  • Put the database onto an SSD drive
  • Put the depot files into folder in storage

Customize the install by:

  • Share the Depot folder. The resulting share name will be something like \\TruxServer\Depot
  • Edit TruxtonSettings.xml to:
    • Set the hashsetdir setting to point to a folder on an SSD and move the NSRL hashset there
    • Set the depotshare setting to contain the name of the share of the depot folder
    • Restart the Truxton service

Client

  • Run the Truxton_Analyst_4.3.0.30731.exe installer.
  • Run the Analyst desktop and change the database connection to point to the server.
  • If you want the client to be unable to load data into Truxton:
    • Stop the Les service. You can prevent it from running by executing 
      sc config "Les" start=disabled
    • Stop the Truxton service. You can prevent it from running by executing 
      sc config "Truxton" start=disabled

Existing Install

Server

If you are converting a stand-alone installation of Truxton to be a server, you will have to modify a few things.

  • Stop the Truxton service
  • Share the Depot folder. The resulting share name will be something like \\TruxServer\Depot
  • Set the depotshare setting to contain the name of the share of the depot folder
  • Restart the Truxton service
  • Modify the existing entries in the [Depot] table to have the URI column contain the correct location.
    UPDATE "Depot"
SET "URI" = REPLACE( "URI", '\\Machine\Share\', '\\TruxServer\Depot\')
WHERE "URI" LIKE '\\\\Machine%'

Client

  • Run the Truxton_Analyst_4.3.0.30731.exe installer.
  • Run the Analyst desktop and change the database connection to point to the server.
  • If you want the client to be unable to load data into Truxton:
    • Stop the Les service. You can prevent it from running by executing 
      sc config "Les" start=disabled
    • Stop the Truxton service. You can prevent it from running by executing 
      sc config "Truxton" start=disabled
