This procedure installs KnowledgeTree Community Edition on your Windows / Linux computer, using the KnowledgeTree Community Edition Stack Installer for Windows / Linux.
Note: This procedure is documented for Windows users. The Community Edition Stack Installer for Linux differs in a few, minor ways - related mainly to setting up services.
Apache and MySQL in the KnowledgeTree Stack
The KnowledgeTree Stack Installers (Commercial and Community Editions) include Apache and MySQL. When installing KnowledgeTree on servers that have existing Apache and MySQL installations you will need to select alternate ports for the installation of Apache and MySQL for the KnowledgeTree server during the stack install. Dual installation of Apache and MySQL should not cause conflicts on your system, provided that you choose different ports when prompted to do so during Setup.
Important - Linux Users:
| 1. | Before running the installers for Linux, use the following command to make the package executable: |
$ chmod +x ktdms-[current version]-linux-installer.bin
