> | # Installation Walk-Through ### Run Setup
> | Double-click on `setup.exe` to start the installation program. This should produce a full screen graphic with the words "Netscape Server Family 4.0" in the upper left-hand corner and a dialog box with the title "Welcome". Click on the Next button.
### Software License Agreement Click on the Yes button. ### Select Server or Console Installation Use the default selection, Netscape Servers. This choice actually includes Netscape Console, which is needed to run any of the version 4 servers. ### Select Installation Type There are 3 choices (Express, Typical, and Custom). Use the default selection, Typical.
When you select a destination location, you're specifying the nshome variable.
| ### Choose Destination Location Assuming you have enough disk space, accept the default location, `c:\Netscape\Server4.` Make note of this important configuration parameter; it will be your nshome location. ### Select Components Use the default selection, which includes everything except "Netscape Directory Server Synch Service". ### Directory Server 4.0 Use the default selection: "This instance will be the configuration directory server." This means the server we install will manage its own configuration data. ### Directory To Store Data Use the default selection: "Store data in this Directory Server." This question is tied to the previous one. ### Directory Server 4.0 Sever Settings This dialog box should confirm what you've entered so far. You'll see 3 items: Server identifier: mars (the name of target system) Server port: 389 (unless you've over-ridden this value) Suffix: o=mcom.com (or the name of the domain you're in) ### Directory Server Administrator The default Server Administrator ID is admin. For simplicity's sake, use the same word for the password. You'll have to enter the password twice. ### Administration Domain Use the default selection which should be the same as the network domain of the target system. ### Directory Manager DN You can use the default selection `cn=Directory Manager.` The password needs to be at least 8 characters long: we suggest dirmanager`.` Note that DN stands for "distinguished name" and cn stands for "common name". As with the administrative login, you'll need to enter the password twice. Be sure to write down the Manager's password because you're going to need it in the next section.
Be sure to write down the Administrative port number set during installation. You'll definitely need this number later.
| ### Administration Port Use the default selection. Make note of this number for later use. Also note the URL for the web-based Administrative interface.
We suggest you keep the installation cache file (install.inf) for reference.
| ### Keep The Installation Cache File Do NOT use the default selection; instead select "Keep the Installation Cache". In this course we don't want to delete the installation cache because we're going to refer to it later. The real name of the installation cache file is `install.inf`. In actual practice, you probably would want to delete the installation cache because it contains the administrator's login and password in ASCII text. In other words, it's a security hole. ### Request Restart ### Here's What You've Got Your nshome folder should look like this:
