Performing an express installation of microservices on a machine running Windows

Windows has its own script that you can run to perform an express installation of multiple microservices.

Procedure

  1. On the SDL Knowledge Center 13 installation media, navigate to the folder Content Delivery\resources\quickinstall\.
  2. Open setenv.ps1 for editing.
  3. Configure logging locations, database locations and credentials, and Content Deployer folders for incoming content.
  4. Save and close setenv.ps1.
  5. Open a PowerShell command prompt.
  6. On the command prompt, type & '.\quickinstall.ps1 but do not press Enter.
  7. Select the command line switches you want to apply and enter them. Specify switches with a - prefix. If your switch takes a value, put a space between your switch and its value. Finish the command by adding a single quote character to close the quoted string. For example:
    & '.\quickinstall.ps1 
    -kc 
    -all -discovery-url http://localhost:6068/discovery.svc'
    in which:
    • -kc is a switch that takes no value
    • -all is a switch that takes no value
    • -discovery-url is a switch that takes the value http://localhost:6068/discovery.svc
  8. Press Enter to run the script.
