APPX 5.0.0 Installation Instructions

Line: 7 to 7
 

Overview

Changed:
<
<
The initial beta is for Linux only and should be used only to create new installations of APPX. The System Administration files for APPX 5.0.0 are not compatible with the System Administration files from earlier versions of APPX. The release version of APPX 5.0.0 will include a conversion utility to convert the System Administration files from APPX 4.2.a to APPX 5.0.0. But, the conversion utility is not yet ready so, for now, you must create a new installation of APPX and setup the System Administration files for your test environment.

Installing the APPX Utility

Installation of APPX 5.0.0 is accomplished by simply following the steps outlined below for your target platform. Because all platforms use a common Installation Wizard, the installation steps for the various platforms are very similar.

The System Administration files from earlier versions of APPX are not compatible with the System Administration files for APPX 5.0.0. Therefore, APPX 5.0.0 includes a conversion utility to convert the System Administration files from the APPX 4.2.a structure to the new APPX 5.0.0 structure. If you are upgrading from a previous version of APPX, you will first need to download, install, and run the System Administration upgrade application. The steps for completing this task are included in the upgrade instructions.

Disclaimer

APPX 5.0.0 includes many new features and bug fixes. As always, before upgrading your APPX production system, you are strongly encouraged to install APPX 5.0.0 into a test environment where you can verify the compatibility of your applications. APPX 5.0.0 has been thoroughly tested but, because of the complexity of computer software (including the APPX Utility), there will certainly be bugs. Consequently, there is no guarantee that your applications will be completely compatible with this significant new release. It is your responsibility to test your applications to ensure that they are compatible with this new release of APPX and to make any changes that may be necessary to maintain compatibility. Finally, before upgrading your production system, make a backup of your applications and your data. Your computer software and your data are important assets of your organization. Please be prudent and take the steps needed to protect this important investment.
