This version includes new SSL certificates, so, APPX 6.1.0 client will not be able to connect to older releases unless SSL is strictly disabled.* %ENDCOLOR%%RED% *The Java Web Start version of the client can only connect to a 6.1.0 or higher server. That client must be upgraded at the same time as the rest of APPX.* %ENDCOLOR% ---++ Overview Installation of APPX 6.1.0 or 6.2.0 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. APPX runs on multiple platforms (various Windows versions & servers, Linux, HP-UX, AIX, etc). The steps for installing are very similar between all Linux/Unix platforms and all Windows versions, and rather than give instructions for each variation, we break them down into all Windows installations and all Linux/Unix installations. Where applicable, we note any O/S specific variations within the instructions for that type of O/S. *Note*: If you are upgrading from 6.1 to 6.2 using the tgz/zip file, or if the last step of the installer tells you to follow the manual installation steps, you need to the following steps: 1 Delete 0SA struct files located under _[appx installation path]/data/0SA/Struct/_ 1 Go to "System Administration -> System Setup -> System Administration File Management" and created files using "Create Files" option. 1 Go to "System Administration -> Configuration -> Data Services" and make sure all the existing services have a valid or blank Mode. ---++ APPX Utility Installation Instructions ---+++ Windows Server/Win 11 <blockquote dir="ltr"> ---++++ New Installation Follow <span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1">[[APPX610WindowsNewInstallation ]]</span></span></span></span></span></span> to install APPX onto a Windows system where APPX is not currently installed. ---++++ Upgrade Existing Installation Follow <span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1">[[APPX610UpgradeInstallation ]]</span></span></span> to upgrade an existing installation of APPX 5.x to APPX 6.1.x or 6.2.x. </blockquote> ---+++ Linux/Unix Server <blockquote dir="ltr"> ---++++ New Installation Follow <span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1">[[APPX610LinuxNewInstallation ]]</span></span> to install APPX onto a Linux/Unix system where APPX is not currently installed. ---++++ Upgrade Existing Installation Follow <span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1">[[APPX610UpgradeInstallation ]]</span></span> to upgrade an existing installation of APPX 5.x to APPX 6.1.x or 6.2.x. ---++++ Using 64 bit Linux?

There are installers for Windows, Linux and Macintosh desktops. There are no license restrictions on downloading and installing the client software. You may install the software on as many desktops as you like. Your APPX server license will limit the number of simultaneous connections. To upgrade an existing ADC installation, simply install the new version on top of the old version. It is not necessary to uninstall the old client software first. In addition to the ADC, you will probably need a PDF viewer. For Windows and Linux desktops you can use the Adobe Acrobat reader or the free Foxit reader. Mac OS/X includes the Preview application, which is sufficient for view and printing PDF documents. <b>IMPORTANT: The APPX Desktop Client only runs on Intel based Macs with OS/X 10.5 Update 1, or higher. Older Intel based Macs might be able to use a third party Java runtime but this has not been tested. Power PC based Macs will not be able to run the APPX Desktop Client at all, since Apple does not provide Java SE 6 for this platform. As an alternative, you can use APPX HTML Client.<br /></b> ---+++ Windows Desktops <blockquote dir="ltr"> ---++++ Installation Follow <span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1">[[ APPXADCWindowsInstallation ]]</span></span></span></span></span></span> to install the ADC onto a Windows Desktop. </blockquote> ---+++ Linux Desktops <blockquote dir="ltr"> ---++++ Installation Follow <span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1">[[APPXADCLinuxInstallation ]]</span></span></span></span></span></span> to install the ADC onto a Linux Desktop. </blockquote> ---+++ Mac Desktops <blockquote dir="ltr"> ---++++ Installation Follow <span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1">[[ APPXADCMacInstallation]]</span></span></span></span></span></span> to install the ADC onto a Mac Desktop. </blockquote> ---+++ Java Web Start <blockquote> ---++++ Installation As an alternative to installing the client on each desktop, you can use Java Web Start technology to load the client from your web server.

This will run your APPX applications in a browser on a desktop, tablet or smart phone. See [[Main.AppxHTMLClient550][APPX HTML Client]] for instructions on installing the HTML client on your web server. </blockquote> ---++ APPX ODBC Installation Instructions <blockquote dir="ltr"> ---+++ [[APPX61ODBCInstallationInstructions][APPX ODBC - New or Upgrade Existing Installation]] </blockquote> ---++ Databases If you are planning to use APPX with an RDBMS, such as Oracle or SQL Server, follow <a href="DatabaseInterfaceUpgrades" target="_blank">this link</a> for instructions on setup. ---++ Comments: _Read what other users have said about this page or add your own comments._ <br /><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1">%COMMENT%</span></span></span></span></span></span> -- Main.BrianRyan - 2021-04-14
