Instructions are provided for First-Time Installation and Upgrades.

Considerations

All database servers and web servers must be configured to be in the same timezone, regardless of where they are geographically located.

__TBD: Do we retain any of these?

By default, the application server is installed to this destination directory: /~dirname/longjump_app_server,
where /~dirname is defined in installation.properties as the default install_dir parameter
Upgrades to the application server should use the same destination directory
Optionally, specify an install_dir path in the installation.properties file.
That destination path should be used for future upgrades, as well.

If this is the first time the platform is being installed on this server, follow the instructions at First-Time Installation.

Otherwise, follow the process described here.

Important:
These are instructions are for version 10.5 and later.
If you are upgrading to 10.5, use the 10.5 Upgrade Process, instead.

If you have not already done so:
- Review the Installable Version Release Notes.
- Ensure that the Hardware Requirements are met.
- Ensure that the Software Requirements#Required for Installation are met.
- Backup the platform databases.
Use the standard SoftwareAG installer to install the 10.5 platform.

Start the Application Server
When done, proceed to Configuring the Application Server
