Clean installation
In this topic you learn fundamental aspects about the clean installation of d.3one. Internet Information Services (IIS) is also set up during the clean installation process. It is assumed that there is a d.3 system available.
The setup program guides you through each installation setup. Thus, only those setup steps are displayed that you need to view according to your installation settings.
The system and installation requirements are automatically checked during installation. Required applications are offered for installing either automatically or manually. You can install the missing applications manually in order to continue the d.3one setup program.
In general, you got the opportunity to run the setup program either in English or in German.
You can cancel the setup program in each step by clicking on the cross on the top right of the page.
Warning
You cannot cancel the setup in the step Installation without changes made to your system. Changes are made to your system as soon as you click on Install on the page Summary. You can cancel the setup by clicking on the cross but all changes done at that time are applied.
If you want to restart the setup after cancelling, you may be guided through the steps of an update installation. If you want to restart the clean installation, you need to uninstall the d.3one first. For more information about uninstalling see the chapter Uninstalling.
Before you start the installation, make sure that all required preparatory tasks are done for a successful installation. For additional information about the preparatory tasks and planning see the topic Preparing the installation. You can find the installation steps described in chapter Installing d.3one (step-by-step.
Note
On the server, run the setup program with local administrator rights.
Installing d.3one (step-by-step)
This chapter provides you with details, e.g., about the installation steps, the settings done automatically by the setup and the application to be installed manually. After finishing preparing the installation, the d.3one setup wizard guides you through each step.
In the setup program, you can always go back one step so that you can verify the settings again and modify them if applicable. You can cancel the setup wizard by clicking on the cross on the top right of the page.
Warning
Before starting the setup program, we strongly recommend to check the system requirements, the required applications and settings in each d.3 repository and in each d.3 application as well as for d.3one. Verify the requirements with regard to your system environment, the security, the applications and the needed settings. Perform the required steps in order to run the d.3one setup correctly. You will find more information in the chapters listed under "See also".
The setup steps are described in single setup chapters.
Note
On the server, run the setup program with local administrator rights.
After finishing all preparatory tasks the setup program welcomes you with the language selection and welcome page.
See also:
Language selection and Welcome page (Setup)
After starting the setup, you can select in the first dialog in which language the setup should be run. By default, there is German and English available. The language selection only applies to the setup program and does not affect the language displayed for the d.3one integrations. In addition, information about the d.3one version is displayed.
On the Welcome page, e.g. the contact information is displayed.
The next step follows up with Terms of License (Setup).
Terms of License (Setup)
The step Terms of License offers you the license terms of d.velop AG. Read the terms carefully, before you accept or reject them.
Only if you agree with the Terms of License, you can go to the next step by clicking on Next. If you disagree with the terms of license, you are not able to install d.3one; you can only go one step back in the setup wizard.
The next step follows up with the Verifying the system requirements.
System requirements (Setup)
In this installation step the required applications and their status are displayed. Missing applications are installed. You can download applications that are not part of the setup from the Internet. You must install the required d.3 applications and core apps manually. As a technical prerequisite for a clean installation under Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019, you must first specify a default browser in order to download tools from the Internet, if applicable. We recommend to use Internet Explorer.
The progress of the installation is continuously displayed. After installing the missing applications, you can click on Next in the setup wizard to continue the setup program.
The table shows you the verified system requirements and the installation location for the applications:

IIS settings (Setup)
Under IIS settings in the setup wizard, specify the website name, the installation directory for d.3one and the port used to access d.3one.
IIS configuration options | Description |
|---|---|
Website name | By default, the name is d.3one. You cannot modify this name. |
Directory | By default, the directory %SystemDrive%\d3\d.3one is suggested. You can edit the path, if applicable. |
Port | The port is 3401 by default. You can modify the IIS settings, if applicable. This port is used to access the d.3one integrations. |
After you have checked the input and modified it, if needed, the next step continues with defining a certificate.
Certificate selection (Setup)
For a correct and secure functionality of d.3one, a certificate is required for the HTTPS encryption. In this step you can either select an appropriate certificate for d.3one from the dropdown menu or create a self-signed certificate using the setup wizard that is used for testing purposes only. In setup step you can only choose from certificates that are stored in the Windows certificate store of the computer account.
Warning
The certificate must at least include the base address as CN (Common Name). For additional information about creating a certificate, see chapter Issuing a domain web server certificate for d.ecs http gateway.
We strongly recommend to use self-signed certificates for testing purposes only and never use them in a productive environment, because browsers usually do not consider a self-signed certificate as trustworthy.
After finishing all required tasks for the needed certificate, at least one certificate is displayed in the drop-down field. Select the certificate that is suitable for your purposes. If the required common names (CN) exists in the certificate, a green check mark is displayed below the drop-down field.
The next step continues with the cache settings for d.3one.

Cache settings (Setup)
On this page, the d.3one setup program offers the opportunity to improve the performance for the search feature and the display of content in the integrating application and to change the directory.
Setting | Description |

Maximum storage (in GB) | Specifies the maximum used storage in GB for the Image app. Default value: 5 GB. This disk space is used by the Image app to save the processed files and the interim results. There is no check to verify if there is enough storage for this setting available. |
Warning
Make sure that there is enough disk space available.
In the next step, a summary is displayed for the applications, apps and settings in the back end to be installed.
