GUI Installation v1.3.0

Upgrades can be delivered in-place, without prior removal of the older version, though this will require a system reboot to restart the service. Below we also describe how to uninstall the previously installed version of the software before installing the latest version. This method of updating the service is the recommended one, as it avoids requiring a system restart.

Note

This section describes the installation process for a GUI (desktop) installation. For a headless(server) install please see Headless Installation v1.3.0.

Install Instructions
