Install Composable MES using the CMES installer tool

Use the CMES installer to automate the installation of Composable MES. The installer ensures that all necessary modules are automatically deployed correctly, with the exception of the Work Tasks Package, which requires manual installation.

Install Composable MES using the CMES installer

1. Download the Composable MES package and complete the installation prerequisite activities unblocking and extracting the contents of the Composable MES package.

2. Navigate to the extracted package's Installer folder.

   

3. Select CMESIntaller file, open the shortcut menu, and select Run as administrator.

   

   The CMES Installer dialog opens.

4. Select the Installation tab and complete the following to configure the database connection:

   1. In the Database field, enter the database name (for example, MESDB).

   2. Select Check Connection.

      A green status indicator is displayed once the test connection is successful.

      

5. To choose the root installation folder, select the Select Root folder ellipsis (...).

   The Browse for Folder navigation pane opens.

   

6. Browse to the location of the installation package, select the folder containing extracted modules, and then select OK.

   

   The CMES Installer dialog Module Folder field displays a list of the modules to be installed.

   

   Note: Verify the installation paths for each module by selecting each one and reviewing the Source Path and Destination Path. By default, the CMES installer is configured to point the destination path to the C:\ drive. If the path is any other drive (e.g., D:\), then update the Config.xml with the correct information prior to proceeding with the installation.
