New Installation Check List

Note: This help documentation is for Unanet GovCon only.

The installation and setup of Unanet takes about 1 to 2 hours, if you are familiar with configuring databases and web servers. The steps below will walk you through the process. These steps cover the actual / physical installation (e.g., creating the database tables, configuring the system to connect to your database, creating an initial administrative account, etc.). The result of these steps will be a usable (albeit empty) Unanet application.

Please thoroughly review the entire Installation Instructions prior to commencing with your installation.

The New Installation Check List below lists the necessary installation steps.

Step 1 - System Requirements
Step 2 - Install Unanet Software
Step 3 - Install Database
Step 4 - Install Java
Step 5 - Install Servlet Engine (Tomcat)
Step 6 - Test Access to Unanet
Step 7 - Configure Email (optional)
Step 8 - Finish Installation (and notify Unanet Customer Service)

Once you have completed the instructions for each step, you have several navigation options:

Follow the "Next Step" links and instructions at the bottom of each page, or
Click on the appropriate next topic in the Table of Contents on your left.

Some steps depend on the components you've chosen for your Unanet environment (i.e., Oracle, SQL Server, Tomcat, etc.) and require some additional navigation. You'll be asked to choose the correct link in these cases.

Note: If you are UPGRADING or MIGRATING an existing installation, DO NOT follow these instructions, but rather follow the appropriate upgrade or migrate procedures.
