SYSTEM CONFIGURATION/INSTALLATION TYPE

STANDALONE
The Standalone installation is self-contained on one workstation.

Users that have not yet installed jRAVEN and wish to install a Standalone version should:

1. Begin by reviewing the jRAVEN Installation Guide v1.4.0.  
2. Use the jRAVENSetup-1.4.0.exe.

**Please Note: The Standalone and Network Client version of the application are both included in the jRAVENSetup-1.4.0.exe.




NETWORK CLIENT
The Network Client/Server installation uses a server to support one or more individual workstations, all accessing one database by multiple computers and users.

• Servers hold the central database and must utilize the server installation file first.
• Network Clients are placed on each user’s workstation, which then access the database stored on the server.


Users that have not yet installed jRAVEN and wish to install a Network/Client version should: 

1. Begin by reviewing the jRAVEN Installation Guide v1.4.0.  
2. Use the jRAVENServerSetup-1.4.0.exe.
3. Use the jRAVENSetup-1.4.0.exe to install the jRAVEN Network Client to each workstation.
  


Users who currently have a Network/Client installation of 1.2.0 or 1.2.1 MUST apply the upgrade to EACH CLIENT install using the jRAVENSetup-1.4.0.exe.
It is recommended that ALL jRAVEN Client installations be upgraded to the latest version prior to logging into the application.
