Install IDOL Components

The easiest way to install individual IDOL components is by using the individual component ZIP packages. You can also deploy IDOL components, or entire solutions, using containers.

Each component ZIP package provides a configuration file, and the required modules for the component. It also includes a component-specific Help file, which contains the actions and configuration parameters relevant to that component, and for most components also contains the Administration Guide.

To install the component, you extract the ZIP package to the host where you want to run the component. You must update the [License] section of the configuration file to include appropriate license information. If you have more than one version of a component running on the same host, you might also need to update the port information to ensure that each component uses a different port.

IDOL components can be installed as services, so that they start automatically when the machine starts. See Install an IDOL Component as a Service on Windows and Install an IDOL Component as a Service on Linux.
