Installation Procedure


Step 1:


Click on the "netcontent-setup" installer icon or right-click and select "Install."



 Note:


Some programs that ran without issue on previous versions of Windows may encounter difficulties on the latest version. If this is your case, apply the recommended compatibility settings to the program by following these steps:

Right-click on the program you want to run and select "Troubleshoot compatibility." Next, in the "Select a troubleshooting option" window, click on "Try recommended settings." Now click on "Start the program" and then "Next." If the program runs correctly, click on "Yes, save these settings for this program," and in the next window, click "Close" to finish.

For more information, go to https://support.microsoft.com/.


Step 2:


Next, select the destination folder where Netcontent will be installed. By default, it will be saved in the path C:\Program Files (x86)\netcontent-setup. If you want to change the path, click on "Browse" and then select a different folder. Click "OK" and then "Install."

The installation process will begin, and the minimum requirements mentioned earlier will be verified.



 Nota:


You need to have administrator privileges to install Netcontent products. If you do not have administrator rights on the machine where you want to install Netcontent, please contact your network administrator.


Step 3:


Now click "Install" on the application that is recommended for installation.



Step 4:


A window (Netcontent Prerequisites Setup) appears, prompting you to install the required and optional programs. The buttons for each component will be enabled if they are not already installed.

For more information about installing components that are not installed, hover the cursor over each button.



The steps to install each required program are listed below. If you already have them installed, you can skip this step:


  1. CORRETTO 21


Install Corretto 21 (or higher) in the environment where you are installing Netcontent. If you do not have Corretto 21, you can download it from the official Amazon website or the official GitHub repository.




Download the file amazon-corretto-21.X.X.X.X-windows-x64.msi, run it, and install it by following the standard steps of the setup.



 Note:


The installation of Corretto replaces the installation of Java JDK.




After the installation, verify that the following system environment variables have been created:


    • System variable "JAVA_HOME" with the installation path (e.g., C:\Program Files\Amazon Corretto\jdk21.0.3_9)
    • System variable Path, with the path %JAVA_HOME%\bin

If these variables were not created automatically during the installation, follow these steps:


  1. Click on "Search" in Windows and select "Control Panel."
  2. Then, go to "Advanced system settings" and select "Environment Variables."
  3. In the "System variables" section, find the environment variable JAVA_HOME and select it. Click "Edit."
  4. If the JAVA_HOME environment variable does not exist, click "New."
  5. In the "Edit System Variable" (or "New System Variable") window, specify the value of the JAVA_HOME environment variable with the Corretto installation path.
  6. Click "OK."



Add the value "%JAVA_HOME%/bin" to the Path variable.

Find the Path variable and click on "Edit." In the "Edit System Variable" (or "New System Variable") window, specify the value of the PATH environment variable. Click "OK." Close all other windows by selecting "OK."


 



In CMD, verify that Java has been installed correctly.



  


2. MongoDB

       

Once the file mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-ssl-4.0.1-signed.msi is downloaded,
select the default installation.

Open the file mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-ssl-4.0.1-signed and click "Next."


       

               

 


In the "Setup" window, click "Next."

               

  



Uncheck the "Compass" installation option. Click "Next" to continue, then select "Install" and finally "Finish." 


 




3. IIS


Go to "Turn Windows features on or off." Select "Internet Information Services."

    

 


Expand Internet Information Services -> World Wide Web Services -> Application Development Features. Then, select ASP.NET.

Depending on the Windows version, it may appear with the version number. In that case, select at least ASP.NET 3.5.


 


Select "OK."

The operating system requires files from Windows Update to complete some features. Click "Let Windows Update download the files for you." Wait for the files to be installed and the changes to be applied. Finally, click "OK."


          



Optional: Click the "Add-Ons" button to import existing records into this installation instance.



  



Step 5: 

       

Click the Netcontent button to start the installation.
