This chapter describes the installation processes of ARIS products using different database management systems. Microsoft Windows operating systems and Linux operating systems are supported. If you are going to use ARIS Connect/ARIS Design Server and ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager along with ARIS Publisher Server, ARIS Publisher Server must be installed on a different machine.
The ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager server installation procedure is described in the ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager Installation Guide (see installation media). Documents can be downloaded from Empower, where a login is required, or from the ARIS Download Center.
You find the setup programs within the ARIS_Server folder or the ARIS_Publisher_Server folder on the installation media. If you do not use the installation media to setup ARIS, copy the whole content to a directory of your choice. This will make available all documents needed to setup ARIS as well as the database scripts. These scripts are needed to setup your external database management system for the use of ARIS.
If you only copy a single ARIS setup, make sure to copy the content of the folder containing the setup.exe file as well as the Setup_Data folder.
