Installation Instructions

Installing CopyStorm/Director does not touch any system files or registry values — you should not need an administrator.

CopyStorm/Director uses a database to store information about jobs, schedules, and status. Before using CopyStorm/Director this database must be created.

The database type can be any of the following:

• SQL/Server
• Oracle
• PostgreSQL
• MySQL

Capstorm recommends creating a database and a database user for the sole purpose of managing CopyStorm/Director data. What “creating a database” entails is slightly different for the various database engines but a DBA will know what to do.

1. Download CopyStorm/Director from www.capstorm.com or from the link sent to you by Capstorm.
2. Unzip the downloaded file into any directory. A single directory named CopyStormDirector will be created.
3. Go to the newly created CopyStormDirector directory and run the launcher appropriate for your operating system:
   1. Windows: CopyStormDirector.bat
   2. Linux: CopyStormDirector.sh
4. The system will ask you for credentials to the database created in the first step. The form is the same as the one used by CopyStorm — here are a few examples:

After a successful connection the CopyStorm/Director tool will appear, with the File System Configuration (formerly called the Global Configuration) tab selected. At this point you are ready for CopyStorm/Director Global Configuration.
