The Express Server installer guides you through the process of installing Express Server. Before you run the installer, ensure that you have administrator privileges and ensure that you have access to the directory or media that contains the Express Server installer. For best results, run the Express Server installer from a local directory or disc rather than over a network.
If Express Server is already installed on the server, read the upgrade documentation before you run the Express Server installer. For more information on upgrading, see Upgrade.
The Express Server installation creates services on Windows and daemons on Linux. For more information on the services and daemons created by the installer, see Express Server Architecture.
