IDOL Site Admin 12.13

# Available Installer Formats

You can install IDOL Site Admin by using three different methods:

- the IDOL Server interactive installer
- the IDOL Site Admin interactive installer
- a zip package containing the IDOL Site Admin components

## IDOL Server Installer

This installer contains IDOL Site Admin as well as all the main IDOL components. This method has a larger installer package, but allows you to install IDOL Site Admin and all its required IDOL components in one pass. This option provides the simplest installation process when you want to install the main IDOL Site Admin components on a single server.

The IDOL Server installer creates all required directories, and on Windows it can optionally set up your IDOL components to run as services. During installation, you specify the IDOL Site Admin home directory and the paths for installation, as well as the ports for the IDOL components that you want to install.

For information about using the IDOL Server installer, refer to the IDOL Getting Started Guide.

## Interactive Installer

The IDOL Site Admin interactive installer contains only IDOL Site Admin. This method might be appropriate if you want to install your IDOL components on multiple machines, or if you want to use the more lightweight installation packages.

The IDOL Site Admin installer creates all required directories, and sets up IDOL Site Admin to run as a service. During installation, you specify the IDOL Site Admin home directory and the paths for installation.

## Zip Package

The ISA zip package contains an executable Java .`jar` file. Unlike traditional Java web applications, IDOL Site Admin does not require a stand-alone application server (for example, Tomcat), because one is embedded within the `.jar` file.
