General prerequisites for installation and upgrade scripts

Powershell installation and upgrade scripts can run on any SDL Tridion Sites 9.5 server machines running Windows, so you can always run the scripts from such a machine. However, any other machine that meets these requirements can also be used.

PrerequisiteDescription
Operating systemYou can run the scripts on any machine running an operating system that supports any version of Powershell of 5.0 and higher.
Powershell softwareRunning the scripts requires a version of Powershell between 5.0 and higher.
Microsoft .NET FrameworkRunning the scripts requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 or higher.

To run a Powershell script, you need to be logged in as a user with sufficient security clearance. For example, to run a Powershell script that installs a database, you must be logged in as a user that is authorized to create the required databases.
