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.
| Prerequisite | Description |
|---|---|
| Operating system | You can run the scripts on any machine running an operating system that supports any version of Powershell of 5.0 and higher. |
| Powershell software | Running the scripts requires a version of Powershell between 5.0 and higher. |
| Microsoft .NET Framework | Running 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.
